Elandil's Tears

The once benevolent and virtuous Kingdom of Sterre has become the Dominion of Sterre, governed by a petty Drahma led by the malignant First Citizen Iole Roïs. A band of royal Loyalists seek out the true leader of Sterre, the heir of the last king. To their surprise they discover that it is a peasant woman living in a distant land—Elandil. Elandil has suffered recent tragedy of her own and has no desire to accompany them on this hopeless quest. But when their captain, Thongill Cathan, offers her a last chance at recovering her kidnapped daughter she agrees. This leads to a journey of discovery and an adventure that she had never imagined.
