Halfblood Chronicles Elvenbane, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p><b>From Grand Masters Mercedes Lackey and Andre Norton -- the landmark dragon-and-rebellion saga, revised, illustrated, and complete at last.</b></p> <p></p><p><i>The elves rule a world where humans are property. The one thing they fear is a child who is not fully human.</i></p> <p></p><p>For a thousand years the immortal elven lords have bred, collared, drugged, and discarded their human slaves at a whim. They fear revolt -- but they fear something else far more: a halfblood child born with gifts no slave should possess. The elves have a name for such children. Wizards. </p><p>They hunt them, execute them, erase them, because prophecy whispers that one of them will rise as the Elvenbane.</p> <p></p><p>When Serina Daeth is cast into the desert for carrying her master's child, she dies giving birth beneath a merciless sun. Her daughter should have died with her. Instead the infant is found by Alara, a dragon shaman who saves the strange little creature on impulse and carries her home to the hidden lairs of the Kin.</p> <p></p><p>Raised among dragons, named Shana, taught to believe she is one of them, the child grows into a girl with impossible gifts, dangerous questions, and a destiny no one fully understands. To the elves she is an abomination. To the dragons she may be a tool, a threat, or the key to remaking the world. And as Shana uncovers the truth of her birth, she is drawn toward a legacy of magic, vengeance, and freedom that could shatter elven rule forever.</p> <p></p><p>Before a world can be freed, one girl must learn what she truly is -- and why so many would kill to keep her from becoming it.</p> <p></p><p>An epic of dragon-raised wizards, immortal tyrants, and a long-prophesied rebellion, in the tradition of Anne McCaffrey's <i>Pern</i>. <i>Elvenbane</i> opens the complete four-book <i>Halfblood Chronicles</i>: newly revised and illustrated, and finished at last with the long-awaited finale.</p><p></p>
