A desperate call for help interrupts holiday celebrations at the Bureau of Balance, and sends Taako, Magnus and Merle on a high-stakes mission to find and reclaim a fourth deadly relic: a powerful transmutation stone, hidden somewhere in the depths of a floating arcane laboratory that's home to the Doctors Maureen and Lucas Miller. An unknown menace has seized control of the stone, and is using it to transform the lab into a virulent pink crystal that spreads to everything it touches. It's only a matter of time before this sparkling disaster crash-lands, but in order to find the stone and save the whole planet from being King Midased, our heroes will have to fight their way through a gauntlet of rowdy robots and crystal golems, decide whether they can trust the evasive Lucas Miller, and solve the mystery of what--or who--has put them all in peril, before there's no world left to save.

The Adventure Zone: the Crystal Kingdom

The fourth title in The Adventure Zone series is set during the Candlenights holiday celebration. Our three favorite Adventurers, Taako, Magnus, and Merle, are called upon to retrieve yet another grand relic threatening the realm. This time, it's the philosopher's stone, which is slowly turning the floating lab belonging to the director's old friend Lucas Miller into pink tourmaline. If the tourmaline-infested lab touches the ground, the pink crystal will cover and destroy the entire world. Lots of fan favorite characters are introduced in this title, and fans of the podcast will be excited to see them canonized. Pietsch's illustrations are beautiful as ever in this installment, with every scene coming to life on the page thanks to detail-heavy artwork that adds so much richness to the story, as well as some fun easter eggs for readers looking closely enough. Overall, fans of the D & D--inspired podcast and of the comics series on its own won't be able to put this one down.
