Its population of sixty thousand humans and a handful of elves are pitted in a war that will only end in genocide. Winter is coming. Supplies are running low. All political ties are fraying.

In her search, Tinker uncovers ancient secrets and a web of betrayal ...and the oni will stop at nothing to win. So neither can she!Book Three of the Elfhome series, the follow-up to the exciting Wolf Who Rules and the award-winning fantasy-SF novel that started it all, Tinker.
