In the World of Iron, known to mere immortals as Earth, Holly Kendall, EMT, psychiatric nurse,
and SCA warrior, has just arrived at Helicon, ready for a weekend away from the mundane world.
But no one has warned Holly just how far away from everyday life she's about to venture. For the
first person she encounters on her way to registration is an honest-to-goodness elf, newly escaped
from a mental hospital. As he seems to have selective amnesia including an inability to remember
his own name, Holly gives him a moniker of Mac. And although Mac has an incredible tale to
spin -- a story of torture by unknown enemies, of magical spectacles, and of the fabled
Book of Airts which tells everything there is to know about The Twelve Treasures of
Chandrakar - Holly quickly realizes he's telling the truth. For Mac is not the first elf she's met,
and one of the men pursuing him was far too interested in that other elf as well.
As Holly sees it she has no choice but to help Mac in his search for the Book of Airts
and one of the missing Treasures, the Cloak of Night and Daggers. And if they survive the hunt,
she'll have to get Mac and his treasures back to Elphame - where and even more dangerous task
awaits them, the rescue of Rohannan Melior and Ruth Marlowe . . . .
