A small group of elves have ended up in a strange, foreign world. Their biggest wish is to get home. But they have a long and dangerous journey ahead of them.

The elves have come to the kingdom of sorrow. The king of the land has been cursed and is sleeping a deathlike sleep. Anemone tries to free him and break the curse of the bloody sword. But she cannot do it without the help of her friends.

This is the fourth book in a series of eight books about the elf queen‘s children.

Peter Gotthardt was born in Denmark close to Copenhagen in 1946. As a child he loved to read, and spent much of his time reading his way through his local library's collections of history and adventure books.

Gotthardt has written more than 60 books for children of which many are set within the realm of the Elves.

This is the story about a small group of elves, who suddenly end up far, far away from their home. They have come to a distant and foreign place, where no one has ever heard of the land of elves. Tall mountains and mighty waters block their way home. And they make enemies, who hunt them without mercy.

But nothing makes the elves give up. They will defy all dangers and obstacles to get home to the land of elves, where the woods are green and the springs flow with refreshing water.
