The Goblin Gambit

Daelaron the warrior has nothing in common with the crimson-haired pixie named Torch. But they soon find common cause when they meet at the Temple of Eluán, a dangerous portal through which otherworldly goblins threaten their world.

Their quest to secure the key to closing the portal -- a crystal relic known as the dragon talon -- leads them to faraway lands, unexpected dangers, and surprising but shifting alliances. Can they turn the tide of war before it's too late?
