Publisher Description
Young noble Luthien Bedwyr is too privileged to understand that his once-proud land, Eriador, suffers under the demonic oppression of Wizard-King Greensparrow. Until the day Luthien seeks justice for a friend's murder—only to become a fugitive fleeing the king's monstrous cyclopian soldiers. Befriended by the irrepressible "highwayhalfling" Oliver deBurrows, and enlisted by an ancient, mysterious mage, Luthien's exile will become an enchanted quest to steal a mystic prize from a dragon's hoard.
Suddenly, Eriador's enslaved humans, elves, and dwarfs begin to rally around rumored tales of a freedom fighter who strikes Greensparrow's foul minions...an unknown hero who wields a legendary sword and magic cape...a warrior who is invisible but who casts the "Crimson Shadow."

" Seriously? There's a reason people groan when cliches are mentioned. This author hasn't been alive long enough to have created this style. "

" i love Oliver! "
— Lady, 4/10/2013 -
" Not a terribly deep or thought provoking story, but it was entertaining and quick. Good for the 30 minutes before I go to sleep at night. "
— Kevin, 2/6/2013 -
" A refreshingly good read. I could get to like Luthien as much as Drizzt. It is that awesome! "
— Bradley, 12/3/2012 -
" Better than expected and not as derivative as expected either. Quite good, actually. "
— Becky, 10/11/2012 -
" The first time i read this, i loved it. Great characters, great fight scenes. But whenI went back to it when I was older to finish the series. I jsut didn't live up to the way i remembered it. However. This book is highly reccomened for young adults, esp. for those who want to get into reading. "

" Good book by a good author "

" Run of the mill sword and sorcery trilogy. "
— Arwen, 11/27/2011 -
" Overwrought drivel. Dreadful. "
— Amy, 10/1/2011 -
" Really Good. Avon appears to be loosely based on the United Kingdom, with Gascon representing France. Standard Sword & Sorcery, but with memorable characters and some odd one-liners, it's a very fun read. Part 1 of a trilogy, so now I have to find those too... "
— Shiroiken, 5/4/2011 -
" Not too bad. Not up to Salvatore's usual standard though. "
— Joshua, 7/15/2010 -
" Definitly the best of the three. Oliver is a wonderful and unpredictible characer to read. This is solid story, and very good read. "
— Jonn, 6/6/2010 -

" Fine adventrue--series holds together...typical political and magical convolutions "
— Mary, 1/22/2009 -
" It was okay. Not bad, but not my favourite either. His Drizzt series still sets himself apart from eveyone else. "
— B, 12/26/2008 -
" A great book from one of my favorite authors of all time. It was fun to read a book by him that was not his usual cast of characters. This book also had the perfect combination of action, romance(i know strange for a book i read), and humor to make it great. "
