The first of only two HeartQuest books that were published in 1984, and the penultimate in the series that will soon be dropped, it’s a fun little gamebook mixing fantasy adventure and romance in a D&D context.

Most of the novelties come with the new illustrators, Larry Day for the cover and Valerie Valusek for the interior art, both of which are pretty excellent, and add real value to a book that is pretty hard to find these days.

The main story tells of a warrior princess, Summer, who is a real badass with a sword who wants to take on a Moon Dragon who kidnapped her grandmother. She has been promised in marriage to a local merchant, but on the way to defeat the dragon finds a sexy wizard with whom romance might flourish. Another fun addition to the series.
