Elantra: Song of Tears, Lady of the Dawn

"The Elantra, the queen of our people, dwells high in the clouds alongside the Moragon, her king and husband. Daily the laughter of the Elantra fills the sky, causing a magical rain to drizzle down, its spell providing Adelar with all it needs for its success, its happiness, and its prosperity." Lies. Children's fairy tales. And as Crispin Rachendorf learned at his coming-of-age ceremony, the truth is more horrible than he could've ever imagined. Crispin alone can travel into the future to find the one who created the Elantra's imprisonment, Gail Fleming; once in the future, he must unravel the secrets there and use those secrets to bring an end to the Song of Tears, the corrupted Dusk, Moragon's reign, and thereby save both the world of Adelar and the world of the Cheebs, the child-like people of Adelar's alternate dimension. And only by doing all of this can he save his new-found love, his Lea, the Elantra, the Lady of the Dawn.
