Review Summaries
"A thousand years ago, the Baeron Urus, the Elfess Riatha, the Warrow (under-sized humanoid) Tomlin, and the Warrow Petal joined forces to combat the murderous Baron Stoke, servant of the evil deity, Gyphon. Stoke was trapped under a glacier, along with the Baeron Urus. There was a prophecy, saying that the "Lastborn Firstborns of Those who Were" would rise to fight Baron Stoke. In this novel, the descendants of Tomlin and Petal, along with Riatha and the escaped Urus, once more encountered this monstrous fiend. "
Ferdinand, Resident Dennis L. McKiernan Scholar

"The main character hunts the killer of her brother who was revived after being trapped for 1,000 years in a glacier. Three of her friends go with her and they find her lover revived as well after being trapped with the killer. The five of them spend two years tracking the killer untill they are caught by him but they escape and kill him. "
Maria Cerimeli, Resident Dennis L. McKiernan Scholar
