The Battle For Elder Home is the prequel to the Elder Chronicles. It relates the story of the peaceful Roeni people when they were nothing more than simple gatherers and how they eventually became 'The Elders'. When the 'Strangers' arrived to claim the Roeni planet as their own, they hatched a devious plan to force the Roeni to destroy the very food they lived on. But the Strangers carefully hid their terrible true intentions. Before the Strangers could complete their plan, a child came of age who said, 'No!'; and who backed up her speech with action. The Strangers had seriously underestimated the Roeni.
