CIRI can often be found rough-housing with the Palace hands instead of sitting in finery at the knee of the QUEEN CALANTHE, >her grandmother.

She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s a direct descendent of LARA DORREN, an Elven Mage – which is why everyone in our >series is after her.

We are looking for an extraordinary young talent to lead this series. She >should be brave hearted and MUST have something truly special about her.
