Summary:
When Matt and his family move to a new development, they stumble into the middle of massive upheaval in the Elf Realm, and as the elves' territory disintegrates and dark factions try to seize control, an apprentice mage sees in Matt the key to saving the human and elfin realms from destruction.
Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
The mud-spattered bulldozer rested on its crawler tracks, a sleeping giant on a rumpled blanket of dirt.
Inside Front Flap:
"You take the high road, and I'll take the low road..."
When Matt's father breaks ground on a new housing development, he unwittingly puts his family - particularly his son - in grave danger. They are swept into the middle of a massive upheaval in the Elf Realm. The living, tunnel-like Cord, or "Low Road," through which the elves travel, is being slowly destroyed, causing the magic barriers between the elfin world and the human world to disintegrate.
As dark factions look to seize control of the entire Elf Realm, apprentice mage Tuava-Li must defend her kingdom's territory - even if that means cooperating with Matt, a human and the elves' natural enemy. With the help of a troll named Tomtar, Matt and Tuava-Li fight to keep the Elf Realm, and the human world alongside it, from certain destruction.
The Low Road, the first book in the Elf Realm trilogy, is a dark and intricate novel debut by bestselling picture book author and illustrator Daniel Kirk.
Back Cover:
What was happening?...Tuava-Li managed to jackknife across the width of the Cord and sheer momentum sent her hurtling past the tear. Still, the walls closed in on her and then bulged out, then closed in again. She banged hard against the Cord, ripping it further as she bounced along. The Cord was falling apart, beginning to collapse on itself.... Tuava-Li had seen firsthand that something was terribly wrong. The Cord was damaged. The Cord was ill. Deathly ill. This was more than damage from Humans unwittingly cutting Cords as they deforested their world. This was something else.
