"The misfit trolls return to battle the eager Go-Backs, to the delight of Two-Edge, who forms an astonishing alliance.

But Cutter's greatest concern is Angrif Djun's massive war fleet, which seeks to crush all elves and their allies."

"Ten years have passed. The Palace of the High Ones returns as the centerpiece of a grand celebration in Cutter's holt. In the midst of it all, every relationship fans have cherished or wished for will be tested. New faces appear; joinings and partings abound-but whose, when, why, and at what price?"

"The one issue you dare not miss!

And what of Cutter himself, torn by his own terrible truth?"

"What happens when the one leader who can unite the elves in their time of greatest turmoil has seemingly deserted them? The descent into the symbolic cave is a hero's darkest hour.

And Cutter, seemingly restored, suddenly realizes he has a new quest: to seek the one being in the world who can right an ancient wrong."

"The word goes out: the human invaders must not reach the Father Tree, sacred home of the Good Spirits. Yet the elves' most potent weapon, the Palace of the High Ones, which could turn the tide in the blink of an eye, will not-cannot-be used, even in self-defense.

"It's been thousands of years since the hidden key in Cutter's sword, New Moon, was first used. The Wolf Chief's followers are stunned as the goal of their mysterious new quest is revealed.

Bonds of love and loyalty deepen, and Cutter's leadership is needed more than ever. But is he, after all he has endured, up to the task?"

"Seemingly healed at long last, Wolfrider chief Cutter returns, with his rescuers, to the Father Tree. But the rejoicing is tempered by news that the invading Djunslander army has met and engaged the native Iceholt human tribes-who have never before encountered the murderous power of firearms. Meanwhile, in the long-abandoned ruins of the Sun Village, the search is on for a long-lost talisman that could spell doom for all the elves dwelling in the Palace of the High Ones!"

"Winter is coming, but love is still in the air! Among the Wolfriders, some celebrate new bonds while others welcome new life. Cutter holds a fateful council: it's now time for all elves to choose-travel with the Palace back to the Star Home, or remain on the World of Two Moons.

"Only three issues left to go in the Final Quest story, and the peril ramps up to levels never before reached in ElfQuest. Out on the open waters, the Wavedancers renew their efforts to keep the seas free of human warships that carry deadly weapons. Yet even as the invaders press closer and closer to the sacred Father Tree, there is time for final farewells, for new lives beginning and old lives ending, as the Palace of the High Ones makes ready to depart the World of Two Moons . . . forever? "

"The penultimate issue in the ultimate Elfquest series! His forces decimated by Cutter's fierce warrior tribe, the fanatical human commander presses on, risking all to destroy the elves in their forest lair. Lives are lost on both sides.
