TO LIGHT A CANDLE The epic conclusion to the first War of the Endarkened From orphaned child to prophesied savior, Vieliessar Farcarinon is more than ready to take her rightful place as Elven Queen. While her bickering countrymen may not have crowned her yet, she has been anointed by the stars above and the dragon at her side. But the overwhelming attacks of the Endarkened have forced Elvenkind to abandon internal politics in favor of an unprecedented strategy: retreat.
Runacarendalur Caerthalien is a thorn in the Queen's side and should be her greatest enemy. A traitor to the Elvish empire, he has become the trusted general of once-subjugated creatures-a chaotic force of centaurs, merfolk, gryphons, minotaurs, and talking bears alike.
These two strong-willed leaders have been at each other's throats for years. Now forced into tentative co-existence due to the common threat of the Endarkened, how will they react when they finally realize they are soulmates-bound despite their will by unassailable magics that twine their lifelines into one? If either should die, the other will also fall. And without their two greatest leaders, the Children of Light are sure to drown amidst the never-ending waves of Endarkened attacks.
The collaborative fantasy world of Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory features continent-spanning high adventure and epic battle. The Dragon Prophecy illuminates a time when long-lived Elves rule the Fortunate Lands. It is a time of dire prophecy, of battle and bloodshed, of great magics unlike any the Elvenkind have seen before.
Deliverance of Dragons is the story of the end of one world and the beginning of the next.
