ELVENBANE
Book One of the Halfblood Chronicles
Born in bondage. Raised by dragons.
She will burn their order down.
HUMANS WEAR COLLARS. ELVES WEAR CROWNS.
The elves look beautiful, they walk nobly, they exude elegance, even virtue. But the beauty and elegance hide a political rot that permeates their whole civilization…a civilization that has been built on ownership, breeding control, surveillance, fear, and the enslavement of humans.
Two Grand Masters — Mercedes Lackey and Andre Norton — built this saga of slavery, prophecy, and rebellion. Thirty years later it is finally finished: four books, revised and illustrated, with the long-awaited finale by Mercedes Lackey & Ben Ohlander. You're starting a saga that actually ends.

From Grand Masters Mercedes Lackey and Andre Norton — the landmark dragon-and-rebellion saga, revised, illustrated, and complete at last.
The elves rule a world where humans are property. The one thing they fear is a child who is not fully human.
For a thousand years the immortal elven lords have bred, collared, drugged, and discarded their human slaves at a whim. They fear revolt — but they fear something else far more: a halfblood child born with gifts no slave should possess. The elves have a name for such children. Wizards.
They hunt them, execute them, erase them, because prophecy whispers that one of them will rise as the Elvenbane.
When Serina Daeth is cast into the desert for carrying her master's child, she dies giving birth beneath a merciless sun. Her daughter should have died with her. Instead the infant is found by Alara, a dragon shaman who saves the strange little creature on impulse and carries her home to the hidden lairs of the Kin.
ELVENBLOOD — Book Two. An elven daughter bartered into a political marriage. Her brother: a hidden halfblood, one blood-test away from execution. Their only way out runs through the outlaw wizards, the dragon Kin, and the girl called Elvenbane.
Dreams are dangerous in a house where women are possessions and obedience is survival. Sheyrena dreams of dragons.
ELVENBORN — Book Three. Kyrtian is the lord the other elves mock: he studies war, and his "slaves" are loyal soldiers, not property. When the Great Lords order him to crush the spreading rebellion, the most underestimated man in the realm must choose between the world that made him and the people who may be its only hope.
Across the elven lands rebellion spreads: young lords defy their fathers, and human slaves slip their chains.
ELVENBRED — Book Four: the finale, twenty years in the waiting. The elves didn't conquer this world because they were strong — they fled their own because something worse was hunting them. Now the forbidden Gate is opening again. By Mercedes Lackey and Ben Ohlander, in memory of Andre Norton.
On the elves' first homeworld, Lady Triana — once among the deadliest players of elven court intrigue — learns what it means to wear the collar her people perfected.
