Kendermore is a fantasy novel in the Dragonlance series. Published in 1989, Kendermore was written by Mary Kirchoff and is volume two of The Preludes subseries of the Dragonlance saga. It has also been reprinted in April of 2003.
It begins with Tasslehoff Burrfoot at the Inn of the Last Home with his friends. However, soon a bounty hunter arrives and charges him for desertion for violating the laws of prearranged marriage. The plot begins to get exciting from there; his bride has also disspeared, Tasslehoff's Uncle Trapspringer has been held hostage, an assassin comes after Tasslehoff, Tasslehoff prevents the Dark Queen from entering Krynn, and Tasslehoff deals with gnomes trying to pickle one of every race on Krynn, including him.
The novel is ridden with some major plot weaknesses, to an extent that it is up for debate if it is wholy canon.
- The assassin is a half-orc when orcs are not a native humanoid race in the Dragonlance setting.
- The novel mentions the remains of a werewolf. Lycanthropes do not exist on Krynn.
- Tika's hair is dark colored, not red.
- The novel makes a secondary character of Uncle Trapspringer, where he is not as much of a character as a semi-believed person with whom every kender in existence shares some relation.
