The elven king and queen murdered. The crown of the realm stolen, and the elven lands aflame. A banished evil has returned.
Not far away, unhinged men hunting an outlaw crash into Derora Saxen’s peaceful village while she play jousts on ponies.
She sets out to find help with her protesting best friend, Kelin. But in assisting a stranger on the run, Caleb, they’re pulled headfirst into the chaos of the elven war.
Facing ancient evils, arrogant elves, a sarcastic knight mentor, and one traitor—maybe more—Derora, Kelin, and Caleb have to choose: gamble desperately or hope that traditional strategy can take them to victory against enemies who have been perfecting their revenge for two thousand years.

All Derora Saxen ever wanted was to be a warrior. Now, she is on her way to join the finest in the world, the Silver Dawn Dragoons. But before she can begin her training, she has a slight problem to deal with in Thomas Delauncey.
Tom knows better than mix it up in other people's affairs. That's always trouble. But now he’s forced to seek an ancient talisman, and he needs help to recover it. So he kidnaps a young woman on her way to join the dragoons—a ridiculous proposition that he doesn’t believe is true.
Now they find themselves caught in the rising tides of a war between two rival kingdoms. But is this war really about a river changing course on the border, or is something more sinister at work?
In the second volume of the high fantasy All Things Impossible Series, Derora and Tom must find a way to tame a powerful talisman, prevent a war, and save a girl's life. More importantly, they must find a way to do it without killing each other in the process...
