Overview

Froyo flees his happy home at Boggy End to escape an invasion. The invader is Celosia Roak, a female halfbit interested in slapping a wedding ring on Froyo's finger and helping him spend all his delicious, unused money. A visit to Eisenfang to see his good friend, Grandkopf the Gray, seems like just the thing. On the way, Froyo discovers that the windows and doors of his coach won't open. Then Lily, a northern Smirkwood tree elf, comes through the roof door and announces that she is the elf he hired for companionship for his journey. This is news to Froyo. Soon, it's clear that Froyo has been kidnapped. Froyo and Lily must plot their escape... The evil Nostril overruns Ember with 100,000 Grimites and marches on Del Mar. The bearers of the elven rings go South to counter the threat. The collected might of the free kingdoms of Central Oith make their stand on the Pero river as they try to stop Nostril and his minions. But they are too few. Will the elven rings turn the tide, or will Nostril's new ruling ring control them and turn them against their allies? Aaron the Last, the thirty-seventh and last son of the famous pirate, Aaron the Black, is asked by King Telecom to sail to the thousand islands. Of course, Fidelia won't be left behind. Aaron's mission is to enlist the aid of the Corsairs of Ember in the war against Nostril. The Corsairs of Ember are a bloodthirsty lot. Fi and Aaron will have to fight for a parlay. If they survive the fight, will the Corsairs be persuaded? Can they defeat the Grimite fleet and stop the invasion? The war isn't going well. Someone will have to kill Nostril. Arrowshaft sets out to do the job. Separately, Lededgas and Gimmie leave Del Mar, Del Mar on the same mission. They must sneak into Nostril's camp, kill him, and somehow survive the aftermath. What could go wrong? Ring War is the third book of the Schnozring Trilogy, which includes The Schnoz of the Rings (I), and New Ring Rising (II).

This is a great book, but watch for 'The Astounding Adventures of Gimmie son of Glowstick in the Great War with the Great Schnoz' by Gimmie. - Cindy daughter of Aethelred, Editor in Chief of the Clovendell Press. Don't miss the big fight with Nostril in chapter forty-one. -Grandkopf the Gray. This book really shows off my kingly attributes. -King Telecom, the king formerly known as Arrowshaft son of Arrowhead, called Elixir the Elfrock, Westhomey, the heir of Whiskeysour, Ellendale's son of Gonner and bearer of Narithil, the Sword that was Busted and Remade. The elves were nice to us, so we don't usually eat them. -Coo, a Giant Raccoon of Fingold. I do not want to go to Mt. Drool, again. -Froyo Bagpants, a halfbit of the Mire.
