A lost tale. A familiar voyage. A new path with different friends and a host of enemies. Revisit Gabriela and Daven Carlyle in an Elk Riders Legend. Adapted from an alternative manuscript for the award winning In the Darkness Visible and Voyage of the Elawn, think of this story as a multiverse version of a voyage you think you knew. Be prepared to be surprised. A ship full of pirates. A poisoned Gabriela. A race to find the cure wherein her brother Daven must step up like never before. If you enjoyed the Elk Rider series, now you have your chance to return. Elk Riders is high fantasy at its best. It’s a story of underestimated misfits caught up in a fight on a scale they never expected. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, Elk Riders sits in a pantheon of classic and contemporary Ursula K. Leguin’s, Earthsea series; Madeleine L'Engle’s, A Wrinkle in Time; Garth Nix’s, Old Kingdom-Abhorsen Series; Joe Abercrombie’s, Shattered Sea; NK Jemisin’s, The Broken Earth; and a plethora of television gems from Willow to the Dragon Prince and Last Airbender.
