Another entry in the sparsely populated N series which up until now has had a new module every couple of years (Against the Cult of the Reptile God in 1982 and The Forest Oracle in 1984) this is year another adventure aimed at new players (N stands for Novice in the series numbering). 

This is a pretty interesting one as it gives players a variety of locations to explore during the adventure and a strong politics infused plot where after a king is murdered the party is tasked with the quest to find the missing prince and heir to the throne.

In the process of finding the prince there will be plenty of obstacles to overcome, but the plotting of dukes is as damaging as monsters and assassins. So the party has to navigate both physical and political dangers, which leads to a good variety for a game aimed at novice AD&D players.
