Hailing from the Westlands where she lived the life of a Rover, Wren finds her destiny calling her toward a much grander and more perilous path. Along with her kinsmen Par and Walker Boh, Wren has been summoned by the shade of the ancient druid Allanon to help fight the oppressive and totalitarian power of the Federation. To succeed in this monumental task and restore balance to the world, Wren must track down the Elves, an entire race that mysteriously disappeared from their strongholds more than a century ago.
