A poor wizard apprentice is taken in by an evil artifact's promises of power. He tries to take over an area that happens to include a great elven swordsman and his friends, all of whom are quite capable of taking on a lowly apprentice, even one with an evil artifact. The fight is made more difficult however, by the recruitment of several thousand evildoers for the bad guys and the good guys being too suspicious of each other to co-operate. Also, one of the greatest armies for good is under the evil power, with the one man who can change that is under severe delusions of being the best fighter in the area. But as hopeless as this all sounds, the entire book is carried out in high fantasy form, with much action and great dialogue throughout.

The review of this Book prepared by Eric Lamarche
It describes a character who fights the prejudices of his race by striving for freedom and equality side by side with characters of other races and genders. It has all the things a good fantasy book would have; master swordsman, angry dwarf, the rash barbarian, the lazy halfling, the cunning assasin, the beautiful young women trying to proove herself and of course the big, mean demon terrorizing the countryside.
