Into The Lair

Into The Lair by Jerry Bridges is a high fantasy military adventure situated around an elven Shala'lir warrior, his wife, and the family they build for themselves along the way. In a loss of control due to his elven wife Laurealis' estrus cycle that triggers supercharged pheromones, Kailynn finds himself at an unavoidable meeting convened in the midst of 'kaipoctouyevva'. It goes very badly and his powerful clan leader, who is also his grandmother, is not pleased. He is sent off to fight and try to save the dying remnants of the human species. Kailynn's wife is left to care for Raina and Duncan, two war orphans that Kailynn wishes to adopt but has no time to explain to Laurealis as he exits for battle. While Laurealis is away with Raina and Duncan, she fears Kailynn is dead until she is able to determine he is not with the help of her friend, Astoria. Kailynn is a Champion, and the one known to have been captured while fighting. The four of them venture to find Kailynn, alongside a dwarf named Fausto who journeys with them. Between the landscape, elements, and circumstances that conspire against them, all five also have emotional carnage to contend with. The mental demons that haunt their thoughts, feelings, and motives can be just as dangerous as the hybrid demon race ready and willing to stamp out everything that gets in their way so they can breed their way in.
