The Iron Thane

Lay on Macduff! And damned be he who first cries Hold Enough! Macbeth was just the beginning. Amid the smoke and chaos following the destruction of Scotlands mad king the Prince of Dark Elves decides the time is ripe to unleash an assault on all of humanity. And he will begin by doing what he does best: stealing the souls of children to build his army. The Erl-Kings victory is not inevitable; he can be stopped-but those who have the power choose not to. The three immortal Sisters worry about Fate. Oberon king of the lightning-fast little people will not risk his legions. The Erl-Kings own son fully as powerful as his father would fight but his mother will not let him-and he is only five years old. In all the world there is one who might bind together these disparate forces and lead them in battle against darkness: Macduff Thane of Fife a mortal who thinks he has outlived a destiny that has only begun.
