In The Sword of Bedwyr, young Luthien Bedwyr rebelled against the crushing rule of King Greensparrow and his cruel wizard-lords. To save his once proud land of Eriador, Luthien was given a magical cape that renders its wearer invisible¿but leaves behind an indelible scarlet silhouette. In Luthien¿s Gamble, Luthien¿the Crimson Shadow¿was successful in bringing Greensparrow and his forces to heel. But now the vile king is back with a vengeance. Using dark and hideous magic, Greensparrow has taken the form of a mammoth dragon¿and he will not be stopped!
