Review Summaries
"Kellach is a wizard's apprentice. His brother Driskoll has a knack for storytelling. Their friend Moyra can scale any building and pick any lock. Together, the three children make up the Knights of the Silver Dragon, a legendary order of heroes sworn to protect the great city of Curston.
While enjoying the sights of ValSages, the infamous City of Vices, the Knights meet a mysterious man who gives Driskoll a treasure map seconds before falling victim to a poison dart. When the Knights investigate the man's death, they learn the map leads to Curston's Dungeons of Doom and discover that two hostile half-orcs and an enigmatic girl named Fluffy are also searching for the treasure. As the six adventurers brave the treacherous booby traps hidden in the dungeons, the Knights find they must form uneasy alliances with the other treasure hunters in order to survive.
