The Witchwood Crown

King Simon and Queen Mirimele have ruled the High Ward of Osten Ard for three decades. But the world has reached a critical turning point once again. The realm is threatened by divisive forces, even as old allies are lost, and others are lured down darker paths. Perhaps most terrifying of all, the Norns-- the long-vanquished elvish foe-- are stirring once again. The Norn Queen Utuk'ku has awakened, and is preparing to reclaim the mortal-ruled lands that once were hers. The first step: recover the Witchwood Crown. -- adapted from back cover
