A Brief Sun

Lady Ithriel Silverbough has slipped out of her father's house for every festival in Silvermoon and Captain Thalorin Ashgrove has followed her to every one.

But the last of the Silverboughs is not meant for a steward's son and her loving father will not bend. Meanwhile, merchants gossip about sickness in Lordaeron's granaries and a human prince marching north. In Quel'Thalas, everyone agrees the runestones will hold. For a people who live a thousand years, their time in the sun may be briefer than anyone believes.
