Her mother was quickly becoming one of the strongest healers of the Ancient Grove, her father the most apt at bringing in the injured woodland creatures of the Forgotten Basin. A queen from a distant land of humans sought their aid in stopping a deadly plague in the Golden Empire. They leftÂ—never to return, leaving their daughter, Naida, to be raised by her village of gnomes.Gnomes are usually born as twins, but Naida was born an only childÂ… possessing twice the healing powers. The elders of the village want Naida to take her place amongst the women, but Naida has other ideasÂ—she wants to Quest, a practice reserved for the men of the Ancient Grove. In the light of an autumn moon she sets off with her good friend, Randin, and her pet lynx, Mikki, on an exciting adventure into the world of trolls, sprites, and wood elves.
