Brothers Majere

THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS-INSPIRED UNIVERSE: Twins Raistlin and Caramon investigate a frightening string of disappearances in this prequel novel to the Dragonlance Chronicles.

Darkness and unrest are growing. People disappear in the night, and there are rumors of foul forces at work. To this land come Raistlin and Caramon Majere, two brothers—one a wizard, one a warrior—who are trying to eke out a living on the backroads of Ansalon. Desperate for money, they agree to take on a job in the backwater village of Mereklar, where cats are disappearing—sending everyone into a panic.

A beautiful noblewoman persuades Raistlin, Caramon, and their kender companion, Earwig Lockpicker, to search for the missing cats. But what starts out as an intriguing mystery turns sinister when the town’s leading citizens are murdered by what appears to be a gigantic feline beast.

A ball of string, an ancient legend, and three magically glowing lines lead the twins to the truth—and to a confrontation with a deadly foe. On the fabled Night of the Eye, Raistlin will supposedly acquire great magical power . . . and he’ll need it if he is to survive.
