The Medusa Plague

Dragonlance: Defenders of Magic, Book 2

By: Mary Kirchoff

Narrated by: JP Linton

The name Guerrand DiThon has been cursed by his family since the day he disappeaered. When a mysterious plague strikes their beleaguered village, Guerrand's name is invoked again -- as the cause of the disaster.

Bram DiThon, Guerrand's nephew, is more like his uncle than the family would care to admit. A skilled herbalist, Bram has unknowingly turned his skills toward magic. It is to Bram the villagers turn when the plague changes their eyes to onyx, their limbs to snakes, and their flesh to stone.Unable to stop the unexplainable deaths, Bram sets out to find his missing uncle. He learns that Guerrand is the High Defender of Bastion, the last stronghold before the Lost Citadel. But in finding him, Bram has unwittingly given an evil mage -- once Guerrand's friend, now his archenemy -- the key to destroy the three orders of sorcery.

The Medusa Plague is the second in the Defenders of Magic Trilogy, a series by Dragonlance saga author Mary Kirchoff that will explore for the first time many of the secrets of sorcery in the world of Krynn.

Excellent middle book!

I love the story arc of the main villain in this series. The author has done a great job building characters that are likable. When these book came out, I feel they were unfairly compared to the Chronicles, but reading these later, I want to know how the series ends.

Enjoyable

The story was exciting and magical! The narration good, overall worth the read! As a continuation of book 1 I thought it well written and it ,also, can stand alone as a single volume.

I always love a good dragonlance series book.

Characters you will remember. Nothing fancy as far as magical effects.

Overall, not a boring listen. I'll be buying the third part of this triolgy.

Rand is dragged back in and so are you

When Lyim comes to Rand asking the impossible, Rand turns him away. Now, with vengence and malace in his heart, Lyim will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Mediocre

meh. it was a decent read, not exactly a page turner but entertaining to be fair ...typical.
