Synopsis

When the last dragon and the last elf break the circle, the past and the future will meet, and the sun of a new summer will shine in the sky.

In a world shrouded in darkness and continually lashed by rain, a young elf named Yorsh struggles to survive. His village has been destroyed by the torrential waters, leaving Yorsh suddenly orphaned and alone the earth’s last elf. But soon Yorsh discovers he is part of a powerful prophecy to save the world from the Dark Age that has begun. First, however, the young elf will have to find another orphaned creature the world’s last dragon.

Full of great tenderness and humor, this magical journey tells the story of a world plagued by intolerance and wickedness, and the elf and the dragon who will fight for its redemption and bring it back into the light.

About this title

About the Author:

Silvana De Mari worked as a surgeon in Italy and Africa before becoming a practicing psychotherapist. She lives near Turin, Italy, with her family and enormous dog.

From AudioFile:

De Mari has spun an engaging fantasy adventure involving an elf, a dragon, humans good and bad, and a prophesy that brings them all together. The writing and narration mesh beautifully, and the listener is immediately drawn to the plight of Yorsh, "an elf born lately." The gentle and steady narration makes one eager to hear what comes next for Yorsh. Patricia Conolly captures the personalities of the diverse characters and gives them distinct voices. Her pacing, cadence, and expression enhance the dialogue while giving the story an appropriate depth and tone of seriousness. Her rich voice ensures that the story lingers in the mind long after the listening experience is over. J.K.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
