Ian livingstone is back for this adventure that adds more to the wider world. This book begins at the dwarf Town of stonebridge and acts as the unofficial third instalment after caverns of the snow witch and forest of doom. They work as a trilogy. This time we travel south to the desert of skulls to find the lost city of Vatos. We are in pursuit of the evil Malbordus who is after five lost dragon artifacts that will of course allow him to conquer the world wahahaha
Yaztromo is still in his tower and this time teachers us some spells to help us. The journey south can go in a couple of directions. We can go by land and get a ride on a giant Eagle that of course doesn't take us all the way. Or we can go to Port blacksand and hop on a ship
These guys have hopped over from another franchise. Also I've noticed how much livingstone likes giant centipedes
At the end of our journey if we find all five artifacts that need destroying we are given the dwarf hammer from the forest of Doom to complete the task. Unless we run past this dying dwarf and ignore him
One of my favourite book covers in the original series. ?
