Synopsis

Discover the thrilling origin stories of the bard Edgin, the barbarian Holga, and their whole adventuring party in this official prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
 
Edgin Darvis’s life is a mess. All that he has left are his lute, his dashing good looks, and his daughter, Kira. After a chance encounter with badass bruiser Holga, Edgin is forced to take a hard look at his bad choices. But the road to redemption is long and paved with unforeseen expenses. Fortunately, the world is full of rich fools begging to be parted from their money.

And so Edgin and Holga do what any sensible entrepreneurs would do—they form a crew.

Joined by the charming rogue Forge Fitzwilliam and Simon, a sorcerer with an intense inferiority complex, the team sets out to line their pockets with both well-earned and ill-gotten gold. Together, Edgin’s crew battles monsters across the realms: gnoll raiders, fey witches, and more fall beneath their sharp weapons and sharper wit. But when they encounter a new, more sophisticated villain, keen blades and piercing blue eyes may not be enough.

Their target? Torlinn Shrake, a wealthy eccentric known for abusing his servants and hosting lavish parties.

The plan? Play dress-up, sneak into the Shrake estate, and fill their pockets with as much loot as they can carry.

The catch? Shrake is hiding a terrible secret: one that could endanger the lives of everyone Edgin has come to care for—even if the loot is too good to pass up.

Five stars feels high for this but as I was reading I couldn't help but think A) D&D novel writing has come a long way since the late 80's/early 90's and B) Dungeons & Dragons novels certainly don't get much better than this. My expectations were low, considering this is a prequel book for the upcom......more

Was searching for an adventure. What I found is a campaign, of a bard and his friends. Just wanting to collect funds through a performance. Yet others see the value of his adventures spirit. 17th of September 2023 and I've gotten around to watching the movie. May I say it's a job well done.......more

Goodreads review by Matti on April 11, 2023

I found this book to be a little bland in its writing and slow to get through, but overall okay. It felt a bit like reading about someone else's D&D game, which is about what I expected, it's just something that needs to be done very well for me to get invested. I also don't think this story needs t......more
