About this ebook

Join the Companions of the Lance on their third fantasy adventure in the Dragonlance Chronicle series, set in the beloved Dungeons & Dragons universe.

Will truth and virtue triumph over the deadly darkness of an all-consuming evil?
 
The war against the dragon minions of Queen Takhisis rages on. Armed with the mysterious, magical Dragon Orbs and the shining, silver Dragonlance, the Companions of the Lance lead their people in a desperate final battle. Knight and barbarian, warrior and mage, dwarf and kender—no one has reckoned how high the price of defeat, or even victory, might be.
 
But now, in the dawn of a new day, the dark secrets that have long shadowed the hearts of the Companions come to light. If they are to truly defeat the five-headed dragon goddess, they must find a way to overcome their own personal conflicts and doubts. From betrayal and treachery to fragility and weakness, the greatest battle now lies within each of them.

Dragons of Spring Dawning is the third book in the Dragonlance Chronicles

Ratings and reviews

I love this book series, all of Weis and Hickman's stuff actually, and if I thought all this money went to them... well I still would only be willing to pay a lot less. this is disgusting, god how greedy are publishers really, I guess its cause all things D&D (along with Wizards of the coast, Transformers, ect.) are owned by Hasburo and they are pure evil. Hey anyone who want to read this book, go to a used book store and pick it up for a buck, if you liked it mail Weis and Hickman a cheque for a few bucks. don't give your money to these greed heads.

I loved the series!! Altgough there are lots of inconsistencies in the world and it's black and white, it does give off an oldschool dnd feeling which together with the really incredible atorytelling makes it impossible to put down. I can't really pinpoint what I loved about the series but compared to other much more believable worlds and characters it still manages to win me with ease...

It's still the favorite of my youth that led me to the realm of high fantasy. My eyes became wet in certain parts still. All of these are despite of the flaws of writing which I see clearly after 25 years and countless pages of other novels read. The trilogy is still a perfect introduction to classic fantasy and adventures and a good way to create a lifelong bond and love with the genre.
