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 'highway' halfling, Oliver de Burrows, and enlisted by an ancient, mysterious mage, Luthian'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.
