I went into this novel with an open mind, despite Hederick being one of my least favourite Dragonlance characters.The novel starts off promisingly enough with the young Hederick taken under Tarscenian's wing.We learn of his devotion to the Praxis and his wanton use of Maccaba to poison heretics.However, the story begins to rapidly unravel.I find the fact that 40 white mages are prepared to effectively forfeit their own existences in order to lend Ancilla the magic to tackle Hederick, far-fetched to say the least.As is the people of Solace's blind belief in everthing that Hederick says.I was also mightily unimpressed with Dodge's portrayal of the noble race of centaurs as gullible,stupid and weak.Furthermore,the leader of the thief ring Gaveley is dispensed with far too easily.You would think that such a high level character would have more wits about him.The only plus side is the kender character of Kifflewit who helps provide some belated quality to this poor title.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a combination of two extremes: on one hand, a detailed, capturing portrait of the nefarious Hederick, no more than three pages in the "Chronicles" Saga. On the other hand... a pathetic group of mismatched "heroes": a seventy year-old ex-Seeker, a misguided but well-meaning mage, a thief who seems to be the only sensible character, and centaurs and kender and slaves for no reason than they could be there. There are some pointless chapters but a lot of good scenes with Hederick. If you can get past the fact there isn't much of a good guy to root for, you can see one of the best examples of villany in this book, in the title character.

I have read a few other books set in Solace and I heard of the Seekers. Didn't really know what they were 'till now. Hederick starts out in a small village where he worships a false god. Then a Seeker preist comes into town and converts Hederick. Then when his cleric sister comes back tot he town, he is forced to "Clense" it. He then goes on to become the world's most powerful religious leader.
