The people hide withing the walls of the cities, the refugees huddle together against the bitter winds, and Elvish warrios hold the forests. Only the chrushing cold of winter keeps the lands from erupting in a violent confrontation, but it can't last, and ever the witch of Elanda wanders the lands bringing both hope and fear wherever she goes.

On a far off windswept island Jennifer Crandall sits with her dogs and cats creating fantastic stories for all to enjoy. She publishes as JL Crandall, Prudence MacLeod, and Jenni Leigh.
