![]() ![]() By the end of the 'Enchantress from the Stars,' Elana has provided the young woodcutter with the tools necessary for completing the mission. ![]() Engdahl uses Elana as a guide for the character, a young woodcutter, who will oppose the empire, thereby transforming her into an enchantress. The purpose is to deplete the planet of its resources. Throughout the novel, a technologically-advanced empire 'intervenes' by invading a maturing planet. It is here where Engdahl injects suspense and conflict with this idea. The civilization allows 'maturing worlds' to grow by pursuing self-sufficiency, without intervention from any other social body. With this in mind, Engdahl begins the novel with an introduction of Elana, who lives in a peaceful, space-faring civilization called the 'Federation.' The civilization monitors the activities of developing worlds that have not reached maturity. Engdahl's novel centers on the theme of responsibility and the opportunities available to both large societies and individuals.
