The final stage on the way to the Labyrinth proves to be the most difficult test of patience and will for a dark elf. Even after they find a master, the gray limits remain deadly dangerous for uninvited guests. Wild hmxmers lurking in the thickets; mimic creatures; carnivorous trees and poisonous insects… But these disturb Tarren far less than the presence of the Squirrel. Her hatred is still strong, her heart as unapproachable as the heart of the Cursed Forest. However, when the elf faces a choice—to save the world or to save the little Hound—he does not hesitate for a single moment. And he makes a decision that ultimately changes everything.
