A Lumineth Realm-lords Novel

Loreseeker Elarin delves into the tomb-prison of Nagash in order to prevent his resurrection. What she finds there is not what she expects.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a fascinating glimpse of two very different aelven cultures – the blighted and desperate Idoneth Deepkin, and the skilled but haughty Lumineth Realm-lords.

THE STORY

Nagash is cast down. The Lumineth stand triumphant. Mighty Teclis, in his wisdom, has left his children to guard the tomb of the Great Necromancer.

Loreseeker Elarin the Illuminated is one such soul. Determined to prevent Nagash’s resurrection, she delves deeper than any other, risking both the ire of her allies and her very being to uncover the secrets of Marrowscar.

However, a hidden danger lies at the heart of this ancient Ossiarch necropolis. The Idoneth Deepkin, reavers from the ocean floor, intend to use Marrowscar’s forbidden knowledge to heal their withered souls, even at the cost of Lumineth lives. If Elarin is to save her kin and stop the return of the God of Death, she must do the unthinkable and damn her Deepkin cousins to their nightmare existence.

Exactly the story that AoS elves needed

The story explores the relationship between the Lumineth and Idoneth in an emotionally gripping exchange of trust, hope, betrayal, and grief.

In addition to plenty of rule-of-cool action scenes and deep exploration of magic, I was especially satisfied by how effectively the story makes mirroring foils of the two elven tribes through its various characters belonging to each. They have both common and opposing goals, and share a great deal of mutual disdain, and yet just enough curiosity - and desperation - to work together. This allows plenty of time for thorough character development and world building between all of the action, and has left me with a satisfied sense that I understand both factions more completely after listening.

This felt more like Fantasy than AoS

In all honesty, this felt more like High Elves of Ulthuan dealing with depressing Drukhari while skeletons are scattered about.
