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.

Story
In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

Her name is Alias, and she is in big trouble. She is a sell-sword, a warrior-for-hire, and an adventuress. She awoke with a series of twisting, magical blue sigils inscribed on her arms and no memory of where she got them. Determined to learn the nature of the mysterious tattoo, Alias joins forces with an unlikely group of companions: the halfling bard, Ruskettle, the southern mage, Akabar, and the oddly silent lizard-man, Dragonbait.

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.
