Spellfire was the first book of the second series of DND novels that I picked up decades ago. The first was The Crystal Shard. I enjoyed these books so much that I am getting my children to read them now. All of my children are great trades except one and this book got him reading now I can’t order books fast enough.

Other will enjoy it like me and read it more than once. I still have my copy way back from the early...
