The Elfquest story continues...The Wolfrider's have reached Sorrow's End, but some members of the tribe long for their forest home and escape from the desert. Cutter and Skywise set out on a journey to find a new forest home and search for other elves...and run into some old acquantinces and new challenges...This is the second book in the new printing format and it covers the begining of the true "quest" in Elfquest. A great read, but you should be familiar with the previous book or your enjoyment will be lessened since it doesn't stand alone as well.
