Swordsman Caltus Talienson, sorceress Bith, Hathor the troll, and the elf Endril band together to battle the forces of the Dark Lord of Mistwall, an evil force that has so far decimated the defenders of the Westwoods.
Rose Estes is the author of many fantasy and science fiction books, including full length novels and multiple choice gamebooks. After contributing extensively to TSR, Inc.'s Dungeons and Dragons Endless Quest series (of which she wrote the first six, as well as others later down the line), she wrote her first full length novel, Children of the Dragon (1985). She continued to write for TSR by writing six volumes in a series of Greyhawk novels. She contributed to other series, but continued to write books and start series of her own that, like Children of the Dragon, take place in a fantasy or science fiction world created by her own imagination. She also wrote the Golden Book Music Video Sing, Giggle and Grin.
These are fun books, but haven't really stood the test of time. I remember loving them when I first read them (in the 90's, I think) but when I re-read them a decade or so later they have certainly aged quite a bit. Still, they are enjoyable and fast reads.
For what I expected to be, let's not call it worthy, but a decent ending to this saga, it turned out to be a 184 pages long introduction to something that was never going to be there.
Spoiler: in a final attempt to come up with something, our heroes will also face magic automatons 🤣🤣🤣
