It started out in the median where there was about to be a major battle in a fight for survival, where the elves talked about wartime strategies and how the elves were going to save other villages, but then immediately got attacked and it talked about all the details of the battle and how smooth the warriors were at moving through the enemy ranks. The battle was somewhat depicted on the front of the book with one of the main characters holding up a sword in the middle of the forest. It is about how an elf, named Takaar, who was shunned and vilified by his own race is requested to save…
