Publisher Description
In the sensational climax to the War of Souls trilogy, a mystical warrior leads her army toward conquest while a band of heroes leads the fight against overwhelming odds
The invincible warrior Mina, not content with her army’s occupation of Silvanost, moves against Sanction. Exiled by a dragon’s wrath, the Qualinesti elves flee the destruction of their homeland, heading toward what they believe to be a safe haven in Silvanesti.
Hoping to find a way to stop the onslaught, the Solamnic Knight Gerard volunteers to return to the army of Dark Knights as a spy. Though brave, it is a move that could prove disastrous for him and the side for which he fights.
Desperate for help, the small band of heroes looks outside their group to an unlikely ally. The Dragon Overlord Malys has not taken kindly to Mina’s army despoiling her territory with their invasion. But the heroes also look to one of their own, someone who may hold the secret to the past and the key to victory: the kender named Tasselhoff.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The One God Takhisis has pulled a fast one and vanquished the other gods of Krynn to a place unknown in this fast-paced conclusion to the War of the Souls trilogy (Dragons of a Fallen Sun; Dragons of a Lost Star). Through the warrior princess Mina, Takhisis (aka the Dark Queen) pretends to do good, heal the sick and comfort the afflicted in her scheme to take over the world. Takhisis's most feared foe turns out to be a kender, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, who possesses the Device of Time Journeying, an instrument that could smash all Takhisis's ambitions with a single push of a button. As Mina takes over city after city, adding more souls to her dread troop, her opponents frantically try to figure out ways to stop her. The Solamnic Knights send one man, Sir Gerard, to spy on Mina by passing him off as a Dark Knight. The elves of Qualinest and Silvanost find common cause in the fight against the Dark Queen, while in a strange twist of allegiances, the dragons of Krynn realize that their survival depends on allying themselves with mortals which they do with cunning and stealth. At Sanction, all the players come together in a mighty battle to save Krynn and restore the world to its proper balance. Bestselling authors Weis and Hickman have made another admirable addition to the history, lore and ways of Krynn, including a set of useful endnotes to bring newcomers up to speed.
