Synopsis

Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a community of Neverwinter Wood elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into her own.

Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides the Emerald Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving the natural world. They fight to maintain balance between the forces of the wild and civilization, and in doing so, protect the sanctity of each.

Among their order, Doric begins to find power in her differences. But not all her fellow initiates are so capable of new growth, and as her training continues, Doric is forced to confront the very beliefs that brought her into the Enclave’s fold. If she’s going to protect her home, she’ll have to reckon with her people, her power, and the walls she’s built to keep herself safe from both.

I didn't expect this book to absolutely break my heart, but I shoulda known that Kate would pull no punches! The flashbacks about Doric's childhood almost brought me to tears, but don't worry: the whimsy and humor of the film is here, too!

This story was pretty sweet and better than I expected from a movie tie-in novel. It's not anything special in my opinion but it's solid, the writing is good and I liked the characters a lot. 👍......more

Goodreads review by Cole on March 27, 2023

TLDR: Amazing, absolutely worth the read. When I bought this book, I was a bit doubtful since my experience with movie tie-in media has been lackluster at best. However, this book was a joy and a pleasure to read. The story follows Doric, the druid soon to be seen in the upcoming D&D film played by So......more

Goodreads review by Lucille on April 14, 2023

3,5/5 C’était une lecture vraiment sympathique, bon petit prequel sur Doric et sa formation de druide, son arrivée chez les elfes et sa découverte de ses pouvoirs ! Un bon petit roman fantasy qui passe parfois vite sur certains événements (j’aurais aimé que sa formation prenne plus de temps) mais c’......more

Goodreads review by Nathaniel on February 18, 2024

I did not expect a Dungeons and Dragons book to get me back into a cozy fantasy mood. Especially since this isn't really cozy fantasy? I just choose to look at it that way. Having loved the movie, I'm not surrpised I loved this book. The ending was amazing. I wasn't sure where Johnston was going wit......more
