Gary Leger had longed to return to the realm of Faerie ever since the day he left. In that mystical world hidden behind his house, life was very different. But at least there was beauty and peace.
But things have changed since Gary's last visit. The sacred armor and magical spear of the land's greatest hero are missing. A wicked king is threatening war on the villages. A banished witch is plotting a scheme. And a dragon who should be banished is burning up the countryside.
Now Gary must traverse the enchanted land to battle the shadows of evil. But this time his journey will take him where no man has gone before—into the lair of the dragon himself!

"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."

“A classic tale of humans caught in the toils of Faerie, certain to retain its predecessor’s audience.”
— Booklist" 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, 10/5/2013" This was a great high fantasy. I seriously recommend this to people who want it all from elves, leprechauns, and dragons. "
— Evelyn, 6/9/2013" 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. "
— Ron, 4/5/2013" The rest of the trilogy continues in the same vein as the first; good yarn, well told. "
— David, 3/13/2013" A good read. But not one of Salvatore's best. "
— Julie, 10/14/2012" 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. "
