SummaryMorgan Llywelyn, internationally acclaimed author of 1916
and Lion of Ireland, returns with a powerful fantasy saga
that sweeps from the dawn of history to our own near
future. It is the story of Earth and her elements, and of
the men and women whose fate lies in her hands. . . . Water. The ice caps melt, the seas rise, and Kesair, a
woman of Atlantis, leads a handful of survivors on a
desperate search for land -- and a new beginning. Fire. All the world centers around the empire of Crete,
where Meriones, a humble musician, performs before the
mighty in their palaces. Until the land shakes, the volcano
speaks with a voice of fire, and Meriones finds his life
changed forever. Earth. Old beyond imagining, the Earth knows neither hate
nor pity. And from Annie Murphy, a strong-willed New
England housewife, it demands a sacrifice both unexpected
and irrevocable. Air. The ozone dwindles, and the forests dies, a new plague
walks the world. And on a day just after tomorrow,
thousands of years after Kesair's struggle, another small
party of survivors, led by George Burningfeather, comes
together on a desolate Indian reservation. As the ice melts
and the sea rises once more, they fight one last battle for
the Earth -- for mankind and hope. The Elementals is the epic, ongoing tale of humanity's
turbulent relationship with the Earth -- as only Morgan
Llywelyn could tell it.
