The Fall of Highwatch (Forgotten Realms: Chosen of Nendawen, #1)

"To come without sacrifice to the heart of the hunter means death ... Highwatch has never been taken. The fortress has sat, undisturbed, for over a century, high above Narfell's frozen plains. The line of the High Warden runs unbroken down to his seventeen-year-old granddaughter, Hweilan. Time to grow up, Hweilan Inle Merah. Time to hunt ... An enemy's pact with an ancient evil brings down Highwatch in less than a day. Only Hweilan is left. An old friend offers her the chance to avenge her family's death--by joining another ancient spirit, the Master of the Hunt ..."--Page 4 of cover An exciting new trilogy set in the far north of Faerun! Hweilan is the last of the line of Highwatch and--as she discovers--one of the last of the Vil Adanrath, a bloodline of lycanthropes left on Faerun. Guric, her uncle and the slayer of Hwelian's family, has released a terrible evil in order to resurrect his beloved wife and gain control of the northern countries. When Hweilan escapes Guric's schemes, she is taken in by Lendri, a Vil Adanrath who has stayed in Faerun to help guide Hweilan to her fate.
