About this listen

Discover the thrilling origin stories of the bard Edgin, the barbarian Holga, and their whole adventuring party in this official prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Edgin Darvis’s life is a mess. All that he has left are his lute, his dashing good looks, and his daughter, Kira. After a chance encounter with badass bruiser Holga, Edgin is forced to take a hard look at his bad choices. But the road to redemption is long and paved with unforeseen expenses. Fortunately, the world is full of rich fools begging to be parted from their money.

And so Edgin and Holga do what any sensible entrepreneurs would do—they form a crew.

Joined by the charming rogue Forge Fitzwilliam and Simon, a sorcerer with an intense inferiority complex, the team sets out to line their pockets with both well-earned and ill-gotten gold. Together, Edgin’s crew battles monsters across the realms: gnoll raiders, fey witches, and more fall beneath their sharp weapons and sharper wit. But when they encounter a new, more sophisticated villain, keen blades and piercing blue eyes may not be enough.

Their target? Torlinn Shrake, a wealthy eccentric known for abusing his servants and hosting lavish parties.

The plan? Play dress-up, sneak into the Shrake estate, and fill their pockets with as much loot as they can carry.

The catch? Shrake is hiding a terrible secret: one that could endanger the lives of everyone Edgin has come to care for—even if the loot is too good to pass up.

Featured Article: Roll for Initiative! 10+ Listens Worthy of Any Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer


With the release of the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the classic tabletop role-playing game (RPG) is being thrust into the forefront of culture yet again. D&D has been in our lives for more than 40 years, and millions of folks globally continue to explore new realms. But the franchise is not limited to dice, guidebooks, and miniatures—in addition to film, television, music, and beyond, D&D is a natural fit for the world of audio.

A nice story with good characters. One complaint is that they don’t give very much in the way of character backstory. While this is far from a deep fantasy novel it was a fun listen and worth the credit. I wish the author had a bit more freedom but I’m guessing they were limited on what they could add before the movie was finished and out. Hopefully we’ll get more from Johnson with more freedom after the film is out

A great read/listen for fun

The whole book reads like a well run D&D campaign if everyone stayed in character. Very pleasantly surprised.

Exceptionally fun

Thoroughly enjoyed the story and performance, nicely done! Based on the trailers I wasn’t expecting one of the characters to turn out like they did.

Excellent movie tie in!

Writing and performance we’re great. They brought us back to the splendid adventurers from the Dungeons and Dragons movie. More, please!

Delightful Romp!

Movie prequels are tricky to pull off, limited things you can do/reveal with/about the characters, and such. So I grade them with a +1.5 curve.
That being said, this was a good read.*
Not blow your mind and change your world good, but popcorn good.

There are certain things that I expect from a prequel.
-Introduce the characters in a "believable" and organic way-Check.
-Make me feel as though I know these characters and understand their modivations-Yep.
-Weave those things into a story that I want to know the outcome-Nailed it.

*I'm not sure how this would read after watching the movie, but I think it would be fine but a little less so.

a solid movie prequel

I was pleasantly surprised by the story of thinking, maybe it won’t live up to my expectations and my experiences playing D&D. The characters were likable. The story was good and well thought out. I hope the movie is as good.

Really, enjoyable story, fun characters, and twists

After reading the other prequel book, I expected a lot out of this one. I'm not going to say that I'm disappointed, because this was still pretty good. I am going to say that the other one is better.

Still, this was fun! It felt like a real D&D game that took place over several sessions. I could actually feel the rolls and see a party sitting around a table.

So, if you like the movie, I say give this a go. If you didn't like the movie, why are you reading my review?

Fun!

Loved it, the description of Forge as having a very punchable face, then having Hugh Grant cast as him is perfect. Also the Narritor does a great impersonation of Michelle Rodriguez

perfect for the pre movie

This was an excellent story. Unbeknownst to me in the beginning was the fact that it is actually the story about how Edgin's crew basically came together.
I know that it would have been a more expensive project, but I think that it would have been worth it had this story been done as a full cast audio drama with the actors who portrayed the characters on screen reprising their roles in this story.
Overall a very good "read."

Excellent story about how everyone comes together.

An enjoyable precursor to the movie. I feel the narrator has done a good job of capturing Pine and Rodriguez in both infliction and character. The story is a lighthearted fantasy tale set in familiar Faerun. Great listening while working on miniatures for a D&D game.

Lighthearted and funny !!
