Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a community of Neverwinter Wood elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into her own. Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides the Emerald Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving the natural world. They fight to maintain balance between the forces of the wild and civilization, and in doing so, protect the sanctity of each. Among their order, Doric begins to find power in her differences. But not all her fellow initiates are so capable of new growth, and as her training continues, Doric is forced to confront the very beliefs that brought her into the Enclave’s fold. If she’s going to protect her home, she’ll have to reckon with her people, her power, and the walls she’s built to keep herself safe from both.

Rezension von StarkillaI have to admit that I was a bit skeptic when I picked up this book. I wasn’t sure if I would like Doric, a tiefling druid, and her this book. Normally it can be hit or miss for me with YA books and also the fact that this is a tie-in novel for an upcoming movie. But as I read on, I absolutely fell in love with her character. Doric’s past resonated so much with me - she was abandoned by her parents, shunned by humans, and struggled to find her place in the world. I could really feel her insecurities and admire the way she grows in this book. The book tackles some important and relevant topics such as the feeling of belonging, insecurity, racism and traumatic childhood experiences. Doric faces many challenges and prejudices because of her appearance and heritage, but she also finds love and friendship along the way. She learns to embrace her unique abilities and identity as a druid who can communicate with nature and wild shape into animals. The book also very lightly incorporates the tie-in to the upcoming movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. It sets up Doric’s involvement in a quest with a sorcerer and two thieves that will take her to Neverwinter and beyond. It was exciting to see some hints of what’s to come in the movie. I was happy after all this time to read a book in this shared world setting again. The author did a great job of bringing the Forgotten Realms to life with vivid descriptions and references. The book is full of magic, adventure, humor and heart. It is a wonderful prequel that makes me eager to watch the movie and follow Doric’s journey further.
