About this ebook

A new age dawns—and a war for the heart and soul of Krynn begins—in this first book in the War of Souls trilogy, from the creators of the Dragonlance universe
 
Forty years have passed since the devastating Chaos War, when the gods departed Krynn and the Fourth Age came to an end. Cruel and powerful dragons have seized control of Ansalon, dividing the continent among them and demanding tribute from the people they have enslaved.
 
Heroes of the past have gone to their well-deserved rest, forever revered for their bravery during the Chaos War and the War of the Lance. Now, new heroes rise to take their place, prepared to continue the battle against evil. War awaits them—a war more terrible than any on Krynn have known.
 
Change—for good or for ill—comes to the world. A violent magical storm sweeps over Ansalon, bringing blood and fire, death and destruction. Out of the tumult rises a strange, mystic young woman, whose destiny is bound up with that of Krynn. She alone knows the truth about the future and its strange, inextricable ties to a terrifying mystery in Krynn’s past.

Ratings and reviews

It was so hard to get into this one. It felt like Tas held back the story and bogged it down. Combine that with the suggest marching scenes and I almost didn't finish it. I actually threw the book in frustration at one point.

This trilogy was my introduction to this universe and I loved it. I've gone back to read the original trilogy and hope to read all of the others.

Enchanting, bewitching, drahining, as ever.
