What will he have to become to survive?

It seemed like a simple plan. After leaving his home in the elven forest, Drynn was called as a magical avatar - a bearer. He now wants to learn all about magic and so does his new human friend. Drynn also wants to discover the remaining mysteries behind his mother's curse and so does his elder brother. The human wizards seem ready to help them. Going with them to the Wizard Tower seems the obvious solution.

But even Drynn's most trusted human friend is keeping secrets enough to make the Tower a waiting death trap. If the elves are to survive in the human world, Drynn might have to embrace a darker part of himself - something that could destroy everything he hoped to gain. 

The second installment of a coming-of-age fantasy series, perfect for teen and young adult fans of Terry Brooks (Shannara), Cinda Willams Chima (The Demon King), Christopher Paolini (Eragon), and other works of epic sword and sorcery. 

The Queen's Gift is the direct sequel of The Queen's Opal (2017) in a new high fantasy adventure series set in the same magical and exotic world as The Stone Bearers (2016). 

Clean listen. Fantasy violence and a few darker themes. Recommended for young adults and teens 12 and up.
