 Summary of The heirs of Hammerfell
by Laura Lulli
In the Hellers, Storns and Hammerfells are still fighting for their
lands. When the only son of the Duke Rascard dies in the hands of the Storns,
Erminie, the young leronis that was in love with him, decides to marry the
Duke, in order to give him another heir, to take the place of her dead love,
Alaric.
And indeed she give birth to the twins Alester and Conn; Alester was born
first, but Conn inherited his mother's laran.
But the war with the Storns is not over, and in a great fire Rascard loses his
life, while his wife runs away with the babies and the loyal Markos.
Unluckily Erminie loses Markos and Conn during the escape and reaches Thendara
alone with Alester.
We find her there many years later, being a leronis in the Tower of Thendara,
while her son Alester is a young dandy at the Court of the king Hastur.
Alester gets engaged with Floria, a young leronis, daughter of Edric Elhalyn,
Tenerezu of the Tower where Erminie works. Alester plans to move against the
Storns, in order to win back his land, and asks the help of the king, but in
the meanwhile Conn is coming to Thendara with the same intention. Markos
indeed did not die in the escape, but saved little Conn and grew him up as the
heir of Rascard, and now sent him to ask the help of the king. Erminie can't
believe to her eyes when she sees the son she has ever tought to be lost, but
she is very happy, while Alester remarks immediately, that he is the real heir
of the Duchy of Hammerfell. Moreover, Conn falls in love with Alester's
fiancee, as she share with her the laran that Alester has not. So Alester
leaves for Hammerfell to organize the troups, but the fire rages over Storn's
land and he has to go and lend a hand. While fighting the fire, a burning tree
hits him, but he manage to save Lenisia, Storn's nephew and falls in love with
her. So when Conn, Erminie and Floria, together with the soldiers sent by the
king, arrive at Hammerfell, the ancient feud is going to be solved forever
with a wedding...and Conn can finally confess his love for Floria.
