ter Shin and his elf bride Saran are fighting for their lives! Standing against them is Parcast, the central figure in a spate of elf kidnappings, and he won't go down easy. He's got a fearsome hippogriff on his side, and it's got Saran in its sights. The timely arrival of Team Balistes just might be enough to turn the tides, but even if they defeat the vicious beast, they'll still need to smoke out any remaining allies supporting Parcast's abduction plot.
