The first of Tim Vander Meulen’s Dark World trilogy, A Humble Heart introduces the vast world of Ielrenväd, in which dwell numerous races of mythological beings such as Elves and Dwarves. Humans are a separate race, the same as the others. Yet like all worlds, a force of evil draws the souls of many from each race, to become enslaved to the master of darkness and bear the mark of evil.
The leader of the Elves in the south is troubled by an onslaught of the enemy against their homeland. In his investigations, he is met by a band of Dwarves and two human boys who bear the most terrible news. The kingdom of men has been invaded. As far as anyone knows, these two refugees are the only remnants of the human race in the world. The boys had first consulted the Dwarves, and now they ask for the aid of the Elves to recapture their homeland. The leader must decide, per their request, to take the long journey to the West and recapture the lands of men. The survival of the two human refugees, Henty and Clese, is paramount, since they could very well be the last of their kind. $2.99 on Kindle.
