“Do you know what war is?” With that question, Cutter and his companions are plunged into the most dangerous, life-threatening conflict they could never have imagined. In their quest for the legendary lost Palace of the High Ones, they are betrayed by the Gliders of Blue Mountain and left to perish on the snow-swept wastes of the Frozen Mountains. Now, the Wolfriders must face savage Northern Troll Warriors who stand between Cutter’s tribe and their goal.

ElfQuest is a New York Times bestseller that weaves together the adventures of elfin chief Cutter and the Wolfriders—the feral, forest-dwelling elves allied with wolves, seemingly the last of their kind. Their journey to find a home in a dangerous world is a story about inclusiveness, self-discovery, finding community and overcoming the forces of bigotry and hate—all wrapped in a visually stunning high-fantasy adventure. Wendy Pini’s artwork blends eastern and western artistic conventions into a new and unique style.

“Blue Mountain, lair of the Bird Spirits.” With these words, Cutter and Skywise imagine their quest to find other elfin allies may be close to completion. The companions have no idea their hopes will be upended. Imperious Lord Voll rules Blue Mountain and the hawk-riding elves who dwell within, and he wishes no intrusion upon his Gliders’ isolated way of life. Even Voll’s presence pales before the hostility of the true power in the mountain—the treacherous, seductive Winnowill. She will stop at nothing to prevent the Wolfriders from threatening her invisible hold on the Gliders.
