In a world where the good Elves have been defeated and decimated by the evil Spider King and his villainous army, the only light of hope are the long lost Seven Elven Lords. But the Lords were snatched out of Allyra as toddlers long ago and never seen again. There are rumors that the Lords were taken to another world—a world called Earth—and they are now in danger.  If the Elves do not find them before they are exterminated, no hope will remain, and the Elves will be destroyed.  In addition, the Spider King has set his sights on conquering and ruling Earth—and it is totally unprepared.  In the second book, Venom and Song, the Elves take the battle to the Spider King.   In the third book, a new and more dangerous evil has arisen, and the battle plays out on Earth itself — while total destruction relentlessly advances on both worlds.
