Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Sword of Maiden's Tears


On her 30th birthday, Ruth Marlowe finds a mugging victim, Rohanna Melior, who just happens to be an elf. Melior is from another world, and in New York City searching for the sword of Maiden's Tears. The sword, if handled by a human, will turn that person into a grendel, a large and mostrous being that is obsessed with two things-the sword, and feeding himself (with human flesh).
