Terea and the Staff of Focus

About the Book

When a powerful but erratic 14-year-old elvin sorceress loses her family in an invasion by the evil horde, she is faced with the decision to flee or fight back with the most experienced crew she had ever witnessed in action.  Little did she know, but this elite group had come for her, specifically to replace an aging wizard in their quest for powerful items to help defend Rondar from the hordes.  Their latest quest:  the fabled Staff of Focus.  For Terea.

Terea soon finds herself racing across Rondar with her new friends, trying to complete the quest in time to stop the evil races from overtaking the human city of Freya - the last stronghold of the good races.  The gang fights their way through goblins, trolls, orcs, ogres, and the evil dark elves who lead them, in order to find the four pieces of the staff and the knowledge to assemble it once again.

The group battles hill giants, infiltrates the dark elf city of Aylron, traverses the seemingly endless Azzarian maze, and finally travels to the lair of Krosha, the timeless and immense queen of the dragons.  They accept help from many surprising sources throughout their journey in order to complete the quest, and arrive at Freya just in time to meet the massive evil army.  In Freya, they and the remaining refugees, make their final stand against evil.
