This is not your average book. Richard Endier is not your average man. A plot of fast-paced action and intrigue takes place in The Spider's Test. The Spider, a fear inspiring awnshegh has focused its terrible gaze upon Richard. Revenge is foremost on its mind. For Richard Endier, the simple farm boy destined for greatness, has tricked, out-witted, and humiliated the Spider again and again. The Spider's main weapon is the fear it inspires, so it cannot a simple farm boy who has tricked it repeatedly live. When Richard creates a frontier settlement near the Spider's domain, the awnshegh sees the perfect opportunity for revenge. With only himself and his friends to protect themselves, the only way Richard can save even himself is by tricking the Spider yet again, this time with the biggest riddle of all.

Another one of the great birthright books. If you like to see the monster win then this book is for you.

Definitely a page turner. Much, much better than I expected from a world designed for a RPG rather than novel writing. Great story of pioneering in a fantasy setting. Monsters and politicians alike try to do away with the clever, but modest hero.
