Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of the Strahd
In this original novel set in the world of Ravenloft, Dungeon & Dragons’ popular gothic horror-themed campaign setting, five strangers armed with steel and magic awaken in a mist-shrouded land with no memory of how they arrived: Rotrog, a prideful orcish wizard; Chivarion, a sardonic drow barbarian; Alishai, an embittered tiefling paladin; Kah, a skittish kenku cleric; and Fielle, a sunny human artificer. After they barely survive a nightmarish welcome to the realm of Barovia, a carriage arrives bearing an invitation from villainous vampire mastermind Strahd von Zarovich, inviting them to dine with him at Castle Ravenloft. With no alternative and determined to find their way home, the strangers accept the summons and travel to the forbidding manor of the mysterious count. But all is not well at Castle Ravenloft. To survive the twisted enigmas of Strahd and his haunted home, the adventurers must confront the dark secrets in their own hearts and find a way to shift from strangers to comrades—before the mists of Barovia claim them forever.
Written by Delilah S. Dawson, acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller Star Wars: Phasma, as well as Star Wars Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire, Guillotine, Bloom, The Violence, Camp Scare, Mine, Midnight at the Houdini, Disney Mirrorverse: Pure of Heart, the Minecraft Mob Squad series, and more, this classic adventure is sure to enthrall both new and old D&D fans alike.
