Shandril never wanted the legendary power of spellfire. All she wanted was a taste of adventure.

Unfortunately, she got both.

Now she’s on the run. The evil Zhentarim, the sinister Cult of the Dragon, renegade wizards, and the terrifying monsters known as beholders want her spellfire, and they’ll destroy the entire Realms—let alone one scared girl—to get it!

The famous wizard Elminster, the Harpers, and the Knights of Myth Drannor are just as determined that Shandril be free to wield spellfire for good. Of course, if she uses it for evil, they, too, will try to destroy her ….

Strange magic is on the loose in Firefall Keep—magic that kills.

The mightiest War Wizards are baffled, and the shadow of destruction threatens valiant Harpers and nobles of the fair realm of Cormyr alike. With Harpers in jeopardy, it is up to the legendary Bard of Shadowdale, Storm Silverhand, to overcome this lethal and mysterious force.
