From the big screen to small print, the Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie novel brings to life one of the most widely recognized fantasy settings of all time.

The Empire of Izmer is on the brink of chaos, its leader foully murdered by a powerful mage who seeks to take the throne for himself. Nothing stands in his way but a young, headstrong empress.

No great heroes rise to defend the kingdom but a pair of young thieves. With the reluctant aid of a red-bearded dwarf wielding an axe and an attitude, Ridley and Snails search for the only weapon that can help the princess-the Rod of Red-Dragon Control.
