It's been four years since Gary Leger slew a dragon and returned home from Faerie, and almost half a year since his father died. Ever since that fateful day, he's been aching to take his wife, Diane, leave Earth behind, and go back to Faerie to see his friends and get away from it all.
His friends wish he'd come back, too—and fast. The threat of war looms over the land like a dark cloud. The king is brutally suppressing his subjects, acting more ruthless than ever before. And the most powerful witch in Faerie, banished to a remote island, isn't letting that stop her from sowing the seeds of destruction.
Gary wants to escape responsibility in his own life. But Faerie's heroic dragonslayer once again has the fate of the world in his hands.

"I really enjoyed this book because it was a book of a person who lives in the present, but stumbled into the past. I like books set in past settings, but I liked the point of view of this person suddenly being somewhere he shouldn't have been."

" This was a great high fantasy. I seriously recommend this to people who want it all from elves, leprechauns, and dragons. "
— Evelyn, 8/28/2013" Not too bad but it took me a very long time to actually get into this and like it. I would say by the 3rd book I was hooked. "
— Kelly, 7/18/2013" Picked this up in search of some good, mindless, fantasy. It was certainly mindless. Poorly written, predictable plot and characters that I had a hard time seeing as anything but two dimensional archetypes. Pity. "
— Krzysztof, 4/2/2013" The rest of the trilogy continues in the same vein as the first; good yarn, well told. "
— David, 12/22/2012" A good read. But not one of Salvatore's best. "
— Julie, 8/27/2012" Incredibly dull, bland, and boring. Main characters aren't fleshed out at all, and you never fear the protagonists are in danger. The concept for the book was decent, but it just wasn't held up with the writing. "
