Book 5 of The Fly Guild series The Elven Enclave is a city nestled among giant trees, with architecture of stone and wood arching between thousand-year-old branches. Its elven residents enjoy a life of leisure, focusing on art, music and beauty. As the elves move through their lives at a slow pace with little want or need, their human servants toil in the fields and in the households, providing the hard labor and sustenance their elven masters need. For hundreds of years, both races lived in relative peace within their stratified worlds. But when Quinton seeks an audience with the secretive elven leader, Kimmer de Lille, about how to remove the mark of the damned, the city is plunged into chaos as simmering resentments flare and humans start questioning their place in society. Now, Quinton is racing against both elf and man to retrieve his beloved mermaid tear and expose a truth that could rip elven society apart.
