Surrender Together

Book excerpt: Isador's mentor is dead, leaving Isador to wonder if the man caused so much heartache on no more basis than their old enmity. He worries Pallas knew something, something about Elsewhere or the Tet Ravos that he misinterpreted. He won't have time to investigate, because war with Elsewhere is imminent. Troubling questions have been raised, too, about his destiny. Danae makes a commitment that will change, not only her own life, but the course of history. Back home, Selene joins humans in increasing numbers arguing for their right to fight alongside elves for their shared homeland. And Delephon and Calix must finally decide if they're enemies or allies. To triumph, they'll have to trust each other to surrender together.
