Elantris
Epic fantasy
Elantris
The once-radiant city of Elantris has become a decaying prison after its magical transformation inexplicably failed and left its immortal inhabitants trapped in pain. Prince Raoden is secretly cast inside when the curse claims him, while Princess Sarene arrives for a political marriage and discovers she is considered widowed before meeting her husband. A zealous priest works to convert the kingdom as Raoden and Sarene separately investigate the disaster threatening both city and nation. Thoughtful and self-contained, this fantasy suits readers who enjoy fallen magic, political maneuvering, capable reformers, and mysteries solved by understanding the rules everyone stopped questioning.
