The Way of the Road

"...And then up, slowly, then completely, they saw it all: winged, scaled, harsh beaked and coiling serpent neck - writing and whip tail; hot breath - the dragon. From its mouth a ball of fire fell down to the black waters, and then the whole pool lit up all in flame..." So goes one of the great perils Rudwin and his companions must face as they wage their quest into the heart of the Grogos Marsh; meeting dwarfs and roanes, evading giants, battling beasts - a journey through bleak woods and forbidding darkness, and all to find the Staff of Necramaor, and return it to the sacred vault on the Island of Ruin. But there is more to the quest than it first seems, and every step of the way they are watched by dark and baleful eyes... Sift Reviews: For anyone looking for a throwback to old-school fantasy (with a Hobbit or even Alice in Wonderland atmosphere) this is a must read.
