Product Description
Ulthuan is a land at the verge of destruction. At Lothern, a fell army marches against the elven defenders of Prince Imrik and Prince Tyrion. In Averlorn, two brothers fight for forgiveness and their right to defend their people. But at Tor Elyr, the conflict will be lost and won. The druchii army, led by Morathi and Issyk Kul, battles the gathered might of the high elves in a vast, destructive conflict. But Morathi has even grander plans than this – to destroy the vortex that holds Ulthuan together, plunging the island into a nightmare domain of Chaos. The noble elves must overcome their dark cousins, or else face the end of their race.

High Elf #2,

This review is from: Sons of Ellyrion (Mass Market Paperback)
Our story picks up where Defenders of Ulthuan left off. Years ago Eldain, Lord of the Éadaoin family, had left his brother, Caelir, to die at the hands of the druchii so that he could wed Rhianna. Now they know that Caelir is alive. While Caelir had been a prison, the Hag Sorceress Morathi used her dark powers to shape him into a living weapon. Though Caelir had no knowledge of the dormant traps within him, he still bears the guilt of having done much harm to Lord Teclis, Alarielle the Everqueen, and others. Now Eldain and Caelir yearn to make things right somehow.Lord Malekith, the Witch King of Naggaroth, leads his warrior host against the elven defenders of Lothern. At the same time, his mother, Morathi, marches on Ellyrion at the head of an army of dark elves. Ulthuan's greatest defenders stand against the approaching evil. However, the powerful traps, detonated from within Caelir, has crippled the defenders, giving the Witch King and the Hag Sorceress a huge advantage. Malekith seeks to rule all, but Morathi seeks even more. She wants revenge for a defeat from five millennia past. The fate of Ulthuan rests on the shoulders of Eldain and Caelir who must obtain forgiveness and the chance to defend their homeland. The noble warriors of the high elves must overcome their dark kin, or else face the complete extinction of their race. And as both sides clash, in the far distance, the ancient dragons still sleep and a powerful group of mages (that have kept a magical vortex going) continue to chant. ***** FIVE STARS! This title concludes the story that began in the book titled "Defenders of Ulthuan". The first title had originally been released in (or around) 2008. It is to be released again so that readers may purchase both titles simultaneously and read them back-to-back. This is exactly what I urge you to do, because the first book ends with a major cliffhanger. As with the previous story, this one has a cast of many. Yet the author's writing style - somehow - breaks up the characters, groups, and events in such a way that I never began to feel overwhelmed. Graham McNeill describes the divided factions so well that I could almost feel the taint surrounding Malekith and Morathi. Whenever the Everqueen appeared, I could almost see the flowers blooming in her footsteps. To me, the story was vivid, clear, and enticing. Very well done! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

don't listen to these fools,
By deathcreeper - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sons of Ellyrion (Mass Market Paperback)
I've decided to enter my first review and the reason for choosing this book is because I am quite appalled by some of the idiotic and irksome reviews which were already logged. This is one of the best Warhammer novels of all time! It's right up there with the Sundering books, if not better. This books features Morathi and the Witch King as the prime villians and while the "bad guys" never get to win it is still a remarkable tale. One foolish reviwer even says that there is little action in this book! about 70% of the books is battles. So, don't listen to these idiots who came before me. I strongly recommend this great sequel.

A So So Read,

This review is from: Sons of Ellyrion (Mass Market Paperback)
Just finished reading this second installment and i have to say it was a mediocre read at best. I'm a lover of elves but these are not the elves i'm used to reading about,however i did find it engaging in certain chapters,boring in others.I have to agree with other reviewer in regards to the ending as i disliked it very much although i think it ended that way for a slight chance at a third installment. All in all i don"t think it was a totally terrible read but it could have been better at least in this one the high elves seem to get a little more courageous than in the first book.
