Wayfinder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542341844)

Raiding orcs don't take hostages. Garrith, commander of the Silver Leaf Rangers, knows this as a fact. When the beast-men raid, they leave carnage in their wake. They never bothered with prisoners-until now.

Among the group of terrified humans that Garrith and his friends rescue from orcs is Krisa, a young girl with an odd birthmark on her collarbone. Garrith thinks of her as just another unfortunate victim of the orcs-until she's abducted a second time.

This time, Krisa is taken into Baron's End, a large and supposedly safe town. Only it's not orcs who take the girl this time. It's a strike force of skilled dark elves.

Without realizing it, Garrith has stumbled headlong into a millennia-old dark-elf plot to restore their dominance over the "lesser races"-human, elf, and dwarf alike. To realize this demented dream, the dark elves must make a sacrifice to their overlord, the demon Zerlothax-a very specific sacrifice with a collarbone birthmark.

It falls to Garrith, an elf from the forests of Meno'leth, and a warrior from the dwarven halls of Humeldin to save Krisa. If they fail, a new age of horrors will descend upon the land.
