Description
'Before there was Game of Thrones - there was Dragonlance' - Vox.com
The first and best Dragonlance trilogy, set in the magical, adventurous world of Krynn.
--
Now dragons have returned to Krynn and the gods have fled. Darkness and war engulfs the land . . .
Once merely creatures of legend, the dragons have returned - but with their arrival comes the departure of the old gods - and all healing magic. As war threatens to engulf the land, lifelong friends reunite for an adventure that will change their lives and shape their world forever . . .
Meet Sturm the Solamnic knight, Tanis Half-Elf, Tasslehoff Burrfoot the irrepressible Kender, Flint the Dwarf, Caramon the warrior and his twin brother, Raistlin the red-robed mage - former comrades together again after five years apart, and looking for adventure.
They find it when they see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager. Wondering if it's a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all, they investigate and swiftly find themselves in deep trouble.
The Seekers, a new religious order, wants the artefact for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and win the continent of Ansalon. Now these old comrades in `arms must fight again to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness . . .
The Dragonlance Chronicles features the three novels Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night and Dragons of Spring Dawning.
