There's just something about elves. Be it pointy ears, youthful appearance, their love of nature, there is just something about elves. Dark Debts is the story about a Wylden Elf named Kerraii who is captured by a Necropolis raiding party and brought to the City of the Dead where she is transformed into a Dark Elf femme fatale Nightblade.

Her backstory in the City of the Dead is told through flashbacks as the story progresses. The political climate within the city, although a major contributing factor, is touched upon briefly so as not to bog the flow of the story down with unnecessary information.

Kerraii is constantly being tested by her political rival Skulk, who while she seems to be besting him on a regular basis, has deeper motives and and hatred for her replacing him at DeathSpeaker Saren's right hand.

Kerraii is revealed as a dark and brooding soul with one thing on her mind... survival. Battle with the Atlanteans, imprisonment in a Magestone Mine, and the revelation that she has been betrayed by not only Skulk but also by Saren drive Kerraii to repay her Dark Debts and try to join the Black Powder Rebellion and Snow, the Arch-Mage Karrudan's assassin.

This book is an awesome read, and includes details about the famous Death Pits of Necropolis and of the provocative, erotic, and scantily clad Nightblades of the DeathSpeakers.
