Publisher's summary

The Companions are back in this first volume, which features an untold story from the War of the Lance. The beloved heroes return: Tanis, Raistlin and Caramon, Sturm Brightblade, Tasslehoff, and Flint Fireforge. Old friends, such as Riverwind and Goldmoon and Laurana, travel with them. Old enemies are here too, as the companions encounter new adventures and new dangers in the very beginning months of the War of the Lance.

This book starts with the celebration of a wedding. The companions believe they have slain the evil Dragon Highlord Verminaard. They have rescued the refugees from Pax Tharkas and taken them to a valley in the Kharolis mountains.

After they are attacked by the Dragon Armies, Tanis and Flint are sent to search for the long lost dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, hoping to persuade the dwarves to give the refugees shelter for winter.

Each of the other companions face their own trials. Raistlin remembers that, according to tales of old, the key to Thorbardin lies in the haunted fortress known as Skullcap. The others want nothing to do with this accursed place, but Raistlin feels strangely drawn to the ruins, and he persuades a reluctant Caramon to accompany him there.

Sturm becomes obsessed with finding the legendary Hammer of Kharas, and his obsession nearly plunges the party into disaster. Riverwind, now chieftain of his tribe, is made the reluctant leader of the refugees and worries that he is not suited for the task. Tika Waylan must decide if she has the courage to undertake a perilous journey to save those she loves from certain death, while Tanis Half-Elven wrestles with his faith in the newly returned gods.

But it is the dwarf, Flint Fireforge, who faces the most crucial test.

Wonderful

I grew up reading these in grade school. Now as a 38 year old I am thoroughly enchanted with these stories again. A point is only knocked off because of Tas’s voice. All in all though these books are fun. I’m talking to you...30 and 40 year olds. Still great, possibly better, now that I’m older.

Voice was average

This is the 15th book in the series I've listened to. The first 3 books had a great voice actor and since then there have been people mispronouncing and people who just sound bland. This was one of those at the beginning, but it gets better.

Poor Tas

Why on EARTH did she make Taa sound like a cartoon clown from a kids' show? She makes him sound like an idiot. He's far from being an idiot! His voice is described as "shrill" in some Dragonlance books, and this weird strangled voice is totally off-base. See the Chronicles trilogy for a narrator who really "gets" Tas.

Literally everything else she does in the book is great. Why, Sandra, why?

Good lord, where do they get these Narrators?

Great story, god awful performance by Sandra Burr. Heed the warnings of the other reviews, Sandra butchers Tas and other character voices. It makes you cringe every time the character speaks.

Narrator has a terrible Tas impersanation

She very much sounds like a clown. The book itself was awesome. Another great Dragonlance tale!

Loved the book. Loathed the narrator.

The book was great! Loved being able to fill in the gaps between the first two Chronicles books.
The narrator was awful. Her character voices were deplorable and her pronunciations were very American-ized. Agonizing. Should have used Paul Boehmer again.

Tasslehoff is unbearable and names are hard.

The voice use for Tasslehoff Burrfoot is by far the most annoying and unpleasant voice to listen to I have ever heard by a narrator. I hated it from the first time I heard it and almost deleted the book from my audible library. By the end of the book, I hated it just as much and I can only pray that I don't have to listen to it in future books. The narrator also mispronounces very common names in this series that have very simple phonetics.

Love the Series but the Narrator....

I've downloaded several books of Raistlin, Cameron, Tanis, Flint, Strum, Tass...this list goes on. I've enjoyed everyone and the narrators glance been decent until now. The narrator of this book is terrible it was a struggle to listen to its entirety. Please redo with another narrator for the benefit of the benefit of listeners.
