Book Description
Mysterious. Hidden. Sacred. Erabel is the beating heart of Dorcha Wood. And its heir has come home. Fleeing the man who betrayed her, Fiadh returns to her beloved forest, into its heart, to discover her people. And herself. With the aid of Veren, an Aos Sí warrior, she explores her birthright, a world safeguarded from the corruption of mankind. There, she learns the history of a mighty race and the vastness of the power coursing through her blood. But beyond Erabel's boundaries, men are flocking, rallying to an evil lord who covets the strength flowing in Fiadh's veins. They have their eyes fixed on the lost kingdom of the Aos Sí, and it's only a matter of time before they breach those borders and come for Fiadh and all who protect her. All around her, the world is closing in, as some plot in shadows, and others in the stark light of day.

Book Description
Prva monografija moderne dobe o »klasičnem« slovenskem krasu, o pokrajini kras. Knjigo je napisala skupina slovenskih strokovnjakov, ki se vsak v okviru svoje stroke ukvarjajo s Krasom.

Delo je ilustrirano z več kot 200 ilustracijami, kartami, preglednicami, grafikoni in skicami.
