If you don't know :
The "Chroniques du Monde Emergé" (it is called so in French) by Licia Troisi (Italian) is a trilogy about Nihal, dreaming at first of riding dragons and getting away, then trying to avenge her father and friends whose place has been destroyed by the "Tyran", an evil Lord who destroys everything (classical). Problem : even though there's no doubt she masters the arts of sword, no female was allowed so far in the army, so her fight starts here. Plus there is something very important about this girl but here is BIG SPOIL : she is
------------the last half-elf alive in this place !!!------- It's all about : place of women in society first, then
determination, loneliness and friendship, what makes a true warrior... and it has some dreamful landscapes, too.
And the dragon in the pic above is called "Oarf" in French, so Wharf.
