His struggle to help the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself.A rare epic fantasy that doesn’t recycle the classics and that is a complete and satisfying story in one volume, Elantris is fleet and fun, full of surprises and characters to care about.
Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly exiled by his father to the dark city. But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping based on their correspondence to also find love. Arelon’s new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Elantrians became wizened, leper like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all.
