Publisher's summary

The international bestseller and epic adventure

A fierce and merciless demon has been unleashed on the world, spreading destruction and bloodshed in both the human and the elven realms. Northlander Jarl Mandred witnesses the ruthless attack on his men, and he seeks vengeance with the help of the elf queen, Emerelle. Despite Mandred's barbaric human nature, the queen orchestrates an elfhunt joined by the two strongest warriors in Albenmark to pursue the beast. Farodin, the fiercest fighter in the land, and Nuramon, the healer, seize the opportunity to make history alongside Mandred in a life-defining series of battles waged in parallel universes.

The Elven is an epic tale, bringing heroes together across the boundaries of their worlds to avenge past losses and influence fates yet to be decided.

An Enjoyable Epic

A fantasy epic that will tug at your heart throughout. The story doesn't deviate from traditional fantasy, but it still satisfies.

Good but could of been so much better

While I enjoyed most of the book, the ending felt rushed and unfinished. I have many books that I love to listen to more then once but I really struggled to finish this one. I feel that this could of been a great book but the ending completely ruined it for me

An epic adventure

A great book that has adventure spanning over a thousand years. All the characters grew on me, so I ended up liking most of them ,even the horrid ones!

Only 2 books have been translated into English. I hope the others will be too.

A Truly Unique Fantasy Novel

A story of true heroism with 3 unlikely companions on an adventure through the ages. I was captivated by the sacrifices and bravery and friendship all in the name of great love. If you like fantasy, let Bernhard Hennen guide you through this one of a kind world of magic, epic battles, and victory!

The Elven

Well-written. Good plot development. Complex and yet amicable characteristics of protagonists. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing this story with family. Would happily recommend.

Far too long

The story could have been 6 books in one, with about 3hrs of war. I tuned out of the story line many times.
