Linsha Majere, daughter of Palin Majere and granddaughter of Caramon Majere, is operating undercover for the Knights of Solamnia's Clandestine Circle, under the pseudonym Lynn of Gateway. She is tasked by the Circle to obtain information about Sanction's governor, Lord Hogan Bight, and determine how his rule could be undermined. While having reservations about her mission, Lynn gets herself recruited onto Bight's Governor's Guard as a squire.

A ship from Palanthas crashes into Sanction show more Harbor, where it is discovered the crew has died of an unknown, contagious disease, which starts to spread through the lower city.

As Linsha undergoes training as a squire and performs missions for Lord Bight, including accompanying him to a meeting with the dragon overlord Onysablet, it is discovered the disease is of magical origin and the work of the Knights of Takhisis, who intend to use the plague and the imminent eruption of Mount Thunderhorn as a distraction for an assault on the harbor.

Linsha is able to hold off a Skull Knight who infiltrated Lord Bight's inner circle, ensuring the governor of Sanction is able to prevent the erupting volcano from affecting Sanction, while a bronze dragon foils the Dark Knights' attempt to invade Sanction by sea. show less

Loosely connected to the previous books, this is decent fantasy in the the Dungeons and Dragons style, but not great. I enjoyed it when I read it, but it wasn't very memorable.

This is semi-Dungeons and Dragons fantasy, but not set in any of the D&D worlds. I enjoyed it at the time when I read it, but it hasn't proved to be memorable.

When Gabriella's whole clan is murdered she takes on the identity of her twin brother, Gabriel, and travels to her mother's clan to seek help so that she may revenge their death. This book, and those that follow, are really, really, really good. They're all out print, but well worth the effort in finding a copy.
