The Doom of Fallowhearth

Descent: Journeys in the Dark

De: Robbie MacNiven

Narrado por: Derek Shoales

Legendary heroes battle the undead and dark sorcery, in the first of a rip-roaring new series for the fan-favorite epic-fantasy game Descent.

When the baroness of Forthyn's daughter disappears, she calls on the legendary orc hero Durik to find her. Durik enlists his old questing partners - the dwarf alchemist Ulma Grimstone and roguish Logan Lashley - in the hopes of reliving their glory days. Together they journey to fear-struck Fallowhearth. There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest.... But the forest holds more than just the walking dead: Between its boughs lurk treachery, a sorcerous ally turned to darkness, and a shocking infestation of giant, murderous monsters.

Surprisingly Good

I went in with low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this novel. If you play any of the games set in Terrinoth (Descent 2nd Edition or Legends in the Dark specifically) you will enjoy the story that much more. However a new comer who knows nothing about the games will enjoy this as well. Just having a bit more lore on quests in the game and characters for fans of Descent is fantastic. No knowledge of the game world doesn’t hurt the experience at all. If you enjoy Descent, pick this up! If you want a nice easy fantasy read, you can’t go wrong.

Another fat W for Terrinoth novels

This book is perfect for new and old fans of this series alike, Terrinoth has always had a rich wellspring of Lore that's deep but not overwhelming, and this book exemplifies that. The characters and their storied pasts might be familiar to Descent players, but the direction this story takes it is simply excellent. I got a gut punch to the feels a few times, and the narrator does a superb job of making each character feel unique and human.

Fun story for a board game.

A good story that was enjoyable to fill in some world. Hope there is a story to explore the adventure the heroes keep referring. Fun story for the background of a board game.
