This is a tale that has as its central figure, Alfadas, who is the son of Mandred, who was the main figure of the Elven. 

The plot revolves around Albenmark being attacked and Queen Emerelle being the centre of an assassination attempt. 

The pace of the story is fairly leisurely while still being absorbing as you are introduced to the world of the Albenmark in more detail and the characters that inhabit it, who are diverse and engagingly portrayed. 

The events that make up the plot are well described, nicely thought out and engaging to read whether this is a battle or character scene. 

These books are translated into English, but whereas with other translated works I've read it was impossible to tell this was the case. 

These are engaging books and well worth reading.
