A king will die, another will emerge; two worlds will battle, one will have to start over. As Death converges on the land of Midnight it will draw all the cursed of the dark realm to its side in a final battle along with the black dragon. The elves of Waters Edge will also have to battle the unexpected as the Nel'laf converge on their ancient city. As war ravages both worlds, the prophecy plays out its hand as those whose fate has been drawn and sealed try desperately to return one of their own to his rightful place. All the while, the stone of Dalbhach cannot be conquered nor subdued for one's own purpose lest it take him, which Legna had discovered long ago, and the human king has now discovered, all too late. As the elves struggle to protect their kingdom, they discover their pendants have lost their power; have they also lost their beloved king? Can both elves and men fight along side together after so many years of mistrust? And who will be king when all is said and done?

The elves of Waters Edge have set upon the world of men to find Legña and make him pay for the treason against his own kin; though they are not the only ones to have breached the pools into the human world. As more prophecies come to light, there are also more surprises as the small Elvin party A'lior is leading align themselves with the humans. It is the only way to win against King Ërrin who now possesses the black stone of Dalbhach; and as is the stone's nature, the human king has also fallen to its call in the form of a green dragon. When the battles converge on both worlds, the chosen one is finally revealed atop the thousand steps and it's not what the elves expected. The One with blood still pure is the only one who can wield the blood-sword of a blue dragon forged by the blue flame. How had the Elvin child been hidden for so long? And who are the other elves that have lived among men that now come to their rescue? Death waits for many...and yet Death itself will fail.

One prophecy, two families; one moon, two worlds; who will survive? A curse has spread across the elvin realm of Waters Edge and only the 'chosen one' from the human world can stop it. One hundred years after the prophecy was foretold, on the night of the harvest moon, the small village celebrates its bountiful year never suspecting that their ancient lore was about to unfold. Though none believed, it could not stop the events from unfolding, and only a few who had been unwillingly drawn in could hope to stop the elvin prince that had betrayed his own. As the power of the elvin king wanes, the shadow dragon has also returned to the human world, leaving the pools open for more evil and vile things to pass through, and unless the two worlds pull their armies together, none may survive. How many must perish before the prophecy can be fulfilled?

The Elvin warriors had traveled the cursed land of Midnight many times before, but never with two inexperienced girls to hinder their journey. Now they must escort April and Rebecca through the dark realm with hopes of making it to Waters Edge before the Elvin lord of this world, and his army, discover them. However, Legna has sensed the presence of the 'Chosen One' and is desperately trying to find her before she can escape, for he envisions himself as the prince to fulfill the prophecy with her. More of the prophecy will be revealed though as they encounter the 'Specter', and Death makes a demanding request of the 'Chosen One' before she can leave the forsaken valley. With war the only possible outcome for the Elvin world, they now also have to battle the world of men, but the human king will meet them with an unexpected power that could alter the outcome of both worlds. Can the Chosen One fulfill the prophecy before it's too late?

Conflicts among Hollywood studios and exhibitors have been going on for years. At their heart are questions about how films should be released--where, when and at what speed. Both sides of this disagreement are losers, with exhibitors using the law via various Consent Decrees and studios retaliating by tightly controlling output. In the Silent Era, movies were not released nearly as widely as they are now. This book tells the story of how the few became the many. It explores the contraction of the release cycle, the maximization of the marketing dollar, and the democratization of consumer access. It also offers a comprehensive list of wide releases and rebuts much of what previous scholars have found.
