Dalamar still shines through as one of the most distinctive, involving characters of the Dragonlance Legends trilogy and successive works. Strangely, however, he's received little attention to date, having only sideline roles in the Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame novels. After being disappointed with other preludes which stretched the bounds of believability (even for a fantasy novel!), I didn't really expect much of this.
I am glad to be proved wrong.
This work retains Dalamar's distinctive character, at the same time highlighting his place in the years prior to, during and following the War of the Lance. His descent into darkness is marked with a distinct sense of tragedy, as opposed to simple selfishness and greed. Would he have worn the Black Robes if he'd endured less as a low-born of House Servitor?
My only real complaint is, as the previous reviewer commented, that the coverage of his Test is severely under-stated. Two third of the book describes his longing for it, only to have it fly past in a chapter. Still, it remains worthy of any fan's attention.

I was always interested in the story of dalamar and the story of silvaneti and this book gave it to me for sure! It has its action,stories and interest spark like every other dragonlance book . This book shows the truth in the society of the elves they seem to be the most nice, intelegent and pure good and right race but it is the worst(this book made me actualy hate the elves of silvanesti). hope you will like it as much as i did!!

I eagerley awaited this book to fill in the history of how Dalamar ended up as 'Shalafi' to Raistlin. It fulfilled all my expectations, although slow at the start, describing Lorac, leader of the Silavanesti's decent into madness, it follows Dalamar's humble beginnings as a worker in house servitor to his eventual turning to the black robes and expulsion from Silvanesti. A brilliant book overall that I definitely recommend, the only gripe I have is that the coverage of his test in Wayreth is a little under done.
