And they aren't sure they like it.
Then his lost lover Jill, now a powerful sorceress, returns. She tells him it is time to accept his elven heritage. Rhodry is persuaded to take drastic action and stages his own death. It's an act that will lead him to the mysterious Westlands.
And force him to confront his destiny. Whether he likes it or not.
