The world’s least promising knight gets his first taste of high-stakes adventure in this rollicking epic fantasy from the beloved Dragonlance book series!Weasel’s luck was not always good . . . Galen Pathwarden, known as “the Weasel”, would give anything to stay clear of adventure, danger, or heroism. Cowardly, deceitful, and hardly noble—and mired in a backwater castle far from any action—he bickers with his siblings and schemes against his elders. But one fateful night, Galen’s dreary life is turned upside down when a sinister visitor arrives bearing gold, unspeakable magic, and a centuries-old curse.
The encounter launches Galen on a bizarre quest into swamp and forest, headed toward a mythical fortress. With the great Solamnic Knight, Sir Bayard Brightblade—and a none-too-bright centaur named Agion—at his side Galen must overcome the schemes and traps of a sinister illusionist known only as the Scorpion.
