The Night's Creed

Book excerpt: The dark elves have been held in a bitter stalemate with their human neighbors for many years. That troubled peace is doomed to crumble when an ambitious dark elf kidnaps a young human prince. Now all that stands in the way of a war that will engulf all of their world is an unlikely collection of heroes: a runaway elven woman with trust issues, a naive halfling who only wants to cook, a sadistic dwarf out for gold, a mysterious old warrior with a haunted past, a peaceful ex-fighter pulled out of retirement, and a hateful dark elf forced to reconcile with the heart he never knew he had. Between fights with monsters, assassins, and each other, the band discovers that things are not as simple as they appear. Someone wants both elves and humans to fallCsomeone far more powerful than this dysfunctional group bargained for. Someone with a grudge.
