[edit] Plot summary
It begins with Tasslehoff Burrfoot at the Inn of the Last Home with his friends. However, soon a bounty hunter arrives and charges him for desertion for violating the laws of prearranged marriage. The plot begins to get exciting from there; his bride has also disspeared, Tasslehoff's Uncle Trapspringer has been held hostage, an assassin comes after Tasslehoff, Tasslehoff prevents the Dark Queen from entering Krynn, and Tasslehoff deals with gnomes trying to pickle one of every race on Krynn, including him.
[edit] Trivia and Continuity Errors
The novel is ridden with some major plot weaknesses, to an extent that it is up for debate if it is wholy canon.
- The assassin is a half-orc when there should be no orcs on Krynn. This is part of a retcon effort to replace mentions of Orcs in Dragonlance novels with Ogres, which are accepted in continuity.
- Tika's hair is dark colored, not red.
- The novel makes a secondary character of Uncle Trapspringer, where he is not as much of a character as a semi-believed person with whom every kender in existance shares some relation.
[edit] Kendermore, Home of Kender
Kendermore is also the name of the forest city of the Kender race in the early books of the Dragonlance series. Later in the series, several subraces of Kender were introduced. Kendermore was founded, according to the Kender, near a place that they refer to as "The Ruins" which is supposedly the ruins of one of the missing High Towers of Sorcery.
