In today's world it is imperative that children understand the conquering power of love over hate, and the need for good to vanquish evil. The Grundilini takes up the challenge. Its main protagonist is thirteen-year-old Audelae, leader of a peaceful village by the Amber Forest. Her magical flower, a symbol of faith, has protected and nourished her once-divided people. Now it is stolen by Riker, who takes it to Grundilini as a gift for the high Baroness. Audelae and a diverse band of individuals seek the return of their stolen treasure. Journeying through the forest, Audelae and her team meet peaceful Tamali elves who tell of their enslavement by the evil Grundilini. They encounter the perils of deadly Krill spiders that can slice a man into pieces using razor-like, invisible webs. And in facing up to the Grundilini, they must make choices that test their human values and their very understanding of self.
