About this listen

The fire that burns...

It can lay low a dragon or heal a wounded warrior.

It is the most sought-after magical power in all Faern.

And it is in the reluctant hands of Shandril of Highmoon, a young, orphaned kitchen-lass.

Now she's on the run from half of the evil sorcerers in the land, not to mention their relentless minions. But with the help of a handsome young wizard, some rough-and-tumble Knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she just might manage to stay alive.

At least until tomorrow.

An all-new expanded version of Ed Greenwood's classic tale, including a new forward by the author.

One of Ed Greenwood's most popular novels, Spellfire is being rereleased in an all-new audio edition. This version has been completely reedited and contains added material that bring new excitement to the story. This edition is classified as the first title in the brand-new Forgotten Realms series Shandril's Saga.

Amazing book, but performance is not great

This is an amazing book that has it all for Forgotten Realms fans: the origin story of Shandril Shessair, the Knights of Myth Drannor, lots of Elminster, great battle scenes, lots of dragons, and of course, spellfire. Unfortunately, the performance is very hard to enjoy. I would describe it as 'halting', where there are just wierd pauses. Still, the story and characters are must read for fans of AD&D, Shadowfale, and the world of Faerun.

Ed Greenwood is my fav author's, fav author

Ed Greenwood is my favorite author's, R A Salvatore's, favorite author. So i wanted to know why and how he may have influenced and I was not disappointed
Usually a novel has only a few good lines, but this author kicks them out so they're crawling all over the pages.
"Some mages think they can change the world and sometimes the Gods let them get away with it."
Hearing that line makes you think, oh my what are we going to read now!
And the discriptions. I love Salvatore's descriptions. I've read homeland so many time, but Greenwood is definitely a pool to draw influence from.
And just when you think the story is over, because i don't count the hours I've listened, you realize what was just resolved presents a new problem that has to be fixed. And the story goes on. Absolutely a delight. I can see why Greenwood was one of the founders for many games. He's def a master world builder

...narrated by an english Forrest Gump

J.P. Cronin tries too hard on the English accent, all the women and the Apptentice Mage Narm sounded like an English Forrest Gump. I almost gave up listening after chapter 10.
