Publisher's summary

First title of a classic trilogy brought back into print - and now audio!

When the leader of the Silvanesti elves dies, conflict threatens to drive his sons apart. While Sithas wishes the elves to withdraw more and more from any contact with other races, Kith-Kanan and his Wildrunners forge connections and trade goods with the humans of Ergoth.

As the world of Krynn watches, a new elven nation rises from the strife.

Very monotone narrator

It was difficult to get “into” the audiobook. The voice of the narrator was monotone so made it difficult for my brain to be engaged.

It's a great read but nothing like the description

It's a very good book.
You can feel yourself live in this fantasy world. btw: it's weird when a book makes you dislike humans but also a lot of other races, all of them being racist😔.
Totally believable though.
