I'm wondering who your editor is and whether your first book was edited. I decided to give it a look at Smashwords and in the second sentence of the Prologue it reads: "and then latter in the hidden elven city". It may be debatable whether "elven" should be "Elven" (it should; you wouldn't write "asian or african-american") but in no dictionary I know is "later" spelled "latter" -- two different word, two different meanings.
I'm writing this because it doesn't get better. The last sentence of the first paragraph continues the errors. The sentence reads: "Some of the slant is therefor toward the elves as victims or heroes when in fact they may have played a lesser role than contained within." In American dictionaries, "therefor" requires an ending "e" as in "therefore". There are other errors in the sentence, including no logical transition from previous sentences. (I'd also add that "therefor" is unnecessary to the sentence.)
Anyway, I'm not willing to buy a book that has so many errors in the very first paragraph. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the text. I do not expect a book to be error free, but a few scattered errors is a lot different than being assaulted in the first paragraph.
