"Having successfully rescued elf-girl Tessia from slave traders, Art accompanies her home to the elven kingdom...where he promptly finds out his new friend is the pricness! While the king and queen express their gratitude toward Art and welcome him in, Art knows he's better off departing as soon as possible--his parents still aren't aware he's alive, and the troubled history between elves and humans spells bade news for his continued presence there. The only problem? Art's been experiencing weird pains ever since he and Sylvia parted, and the remedy may lie in the very place he's trying to leave..."--Provided by publisher.
