Synopsis

Legendary heroes battle the undead and dark sorcery, in the first of a rip-roaring new series for the fan-favorite epic fantasy game, Descent.

When the Baroness of Forthyn's daughter disappears, she calls on the legendary orc hero, Durik, to find her. Durik enlists his old questing partners—the dwarf alchemist, Ulma Grimstone, and roguish Logan Lashley—in the hopes of reliving their glory days. Together they journey to fearstruck Fallowhearth. There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest . . . But the forest holds more than just the walking dead: between its boughs lurk treachery, a sorcerous ally turned to darkness, and a shocking infestation of giant, murderous monsters.

Great story, great characters. I was really surprised with this book, bought it just because I’m a huge fan of Descent 2nd Ed. But instead of a book taking advantage from a brand, I found a truly great story. A band of heroes reunited, awesome characters with great personalities and suspense, action......more

Goodreads review by Joe on January 01, 2021

This is the first of a novel series based on the Fantasy Flight board game Descent: Journeys in the Dark. It's really good, and feels like author Robbie MacNiven scribbled down notes while running these characters in a role-playing game. Here are two reasons to pick up this book: 1) a dwarf alchemis......more
