Shadowmarch: Shadowmarch: Volume I

The first volume in an epic fantasy saga set in a land inhabited by humans, elves, and dwarves. For generations, the misty Shadowline has separated human lands from the northern territories of the Qar, ageless inhuman enemies. Now that boundary is shifting outward, threatening to consume Southmarch, the northernmost human kingdom. The Eddon family has ruled Southmarch Castle for centuries, defending against the Qar's return. The royal line faces a critical crisis when King Olin is captured in a distant land, leaving his inexperienced heirs to lead their people through mounting danger. The burden falls heaviest on the two youngest Eddons as the Qar's power spreads across the realm. Southmarch Castle, long called by its ominous name, now faces the possibility of becoming the very thing it was named for.
