Today is the official publication day for An Apprentice to Elves by Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette. Return to the Iskryne series that began with A Companion to Wolves, and continued in The Tempering of Men.
The warrior culture of the Iskryne forbids many things to women–and most especially it forbids them bonding to one of the giant telepathic trelwolves. But as her father Isolfr was no ordinary boy, Alfgyfa is no ordinary girl.
Her father has long planned to send Alfgyfa to Tin, a matriarch among the elves who live nearby, to be both apprentice and ambassador, and now she is of age to go. But Alfgyfa is a child with her own mind…
Et in arcaedia, ego.
