[edit]

The book follows the journey of an orphaned girl named Shandril who later leaves her home and embarks on a journey, thus discovering love, and of course Spellfire.

Reception

[edit]

In the Io9 series revisiting older Dungeons & Dragons novels, Rob Bricken commented that "This book is terrible. It's the sort of top-to-bottom awfulness I expected to encounter when I started looking back at these D&D novels but then forgot about after I was lulled into a false sense of security by nominal competency of the first few books."[1]
