When a half-drowned elf is found floating in the seas of the Blue
Divide, an old mystery resurfaces. Thirty years ago, an elven prince led
an expedition in search of a legendary magic said to be more powerful
than any in the world. Of all those who set out on that ill-fated
voyage, not one has ever returned. Until now. The rescued elf carries
a map covered with mysterious symbols-and Walker Boh, the last of the
Druids, has the skill to decipher them. But someone else understands the
map's significance: the Ilse Witch, a ruthless young woman who wields a
magic as potent as his own. She will stop at nothing to possess the
map-and the magic it leads to.
