Summary
There’s someone kidnapping the street kids in Twynne Rivers!
DeFrantis is a young human girl living on the streets, trying to eke out a living in the sprawling city, and she has problems. First, after a botched attempt to steal a chicken, she’s on the run. Second, for some reason, someone other than the City Guard is trying to hunt her down. Finally, the poor kids she was trying to feed got sold off to slavers. She has to save them, but first, she has to find them!
Along the way, she gets help from strangers: Antonerri, a soldier turned heretic—Thissraelle, an elven mage girl; Granthurg, the studious giant; and Karendle, a half-dwarf wizard wannabe...but who is the Dragon’s Flame?
This story is based on the setting and system of the tabletop roleplaying game, A Tale of Heroes by Mark Hansen, Brendon Hansen, and Jacob Hansen. It’s a family-friendly, story-driven system designed to help families enjoy time together. Roll dice—build character.
Critic reviews
“...Each of these characters emerges from wildly differing circumstances, and have unique perspectives and goals, which don't always neatly align with those of their companions, and in some cases can leave them wondering if they're even fighting on the right side. It's that searching and self-doubt - all while being swept up by larger events - that makes these players in this little drama so fascinating.” (Doug Bedwell, Author of A Counterfeit Princess and Robot Captain)

Enjoyable fantasy adventure
Enjoyable fantasy adventure for any age but particularly good for younger readers. Mark Hansen has provided an interesting mix of quite different characters with diverse agendas coming together and learning about cooperation and teamwork, choices and consequences and lessons about right and wrong. The chapters are very short but, apparently, they are a suitable length for blogging. It makes them bite-sized which is definitely ideal for younger readers. Narration by Andrew McDermott is first-rate and he is able to produce a variety of voices for the different characters. It’s a very entertaining audiobook.

Save the children
This is a tale of sacrifice, awakening, caring and redeeming. The characters come together to form a ragtag team from various walks in life on a mission to rescue some innocent street children. The nightmares these wee ones face will keep you riveted and reading way into the night! Couldn't put it down! Great narration by Andrew McDermott.

Couldn't get into it
As the title says, i just couldn't get into the book, maybe its just not for me. The beginning just didn't seem to interest me.
