Review Summaries
"The book starts with a vision of a terror, death and destruction, all of which is focused around a green stone. An elven woman is forced to lead an expedition across the mythical world of Mithgar. She must seek out people in a riddle who are the only ones who can stop this terrible end from coming, and in the situation of it all. They must stop an evil black mage named Ordrune from using his evil powers to awaken the Dragonstone."
Sean Stroh, Resident Dennis L. McKiernan Scholar
