In this Dungeons & Dragons novel, the Fallbacks rush to balance the scales before a draconic foe reaps their cleric\u2019s soul.<\/b><\/p>\n
When the day is threatened by tyrannical foes or monstrous fiends, the people of Faer\u00fbn place their trust in the realm\u2019s mighty heroes. When the mighty heroes don\u2019t show up, they get the Fallbacks.<\/p>\n
The team: A flamboyant bard with a bandstand\u2019s worth of secrets. A wizard whose thirst for knowledge leads her to triumph and trouble. A virtuous fighter with a family that\u2019s anything but. A cunning rogue just trying to keep everyone together.<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s the party\u2019s cleric. Baldric has always had an unorthodox approach to divinity. While other folk of faith hitch their wagons to one god or another, this cleric figures that if his magic and might can serve many gods and reap the rewards of the entire pantheon, everyone wins. But there\u2019s a price to be paid for the power to protect Faer\u00fbn. And every debt must one day be collected.<\/p>\n
Baldric finds himself cut off from his connection to the divine when a mysterious and otherworldly entity starts to invade his negotiations. And this entity wants more than Baldric\u2019s service\u2014it wants his soul.<\/p>\n
The Fallbacks race to free their cleric from his shadowy debtholder, but the heat is on\u2014in more ways than one\u2014because the being trying to lay claim to Baldric isn\u2019t exactly a god. Forget striking bargains with deities. To get out of this jam, the Fallbacks will have to deal with dragons.<\/p>\n
