Kurzbeschreibung
Gargantuan dragons soar over Krynn, battling for control of the lands below. On the isle of Sancrist, the weakened Knights of Solamnia ask their old enemies the Knights of Takhisis, for help. At the insistence of Lord Gunthar, the knights renew the alliance forged during the last days of the Chaos War. But when the Grand Master of the Knights of Solamnia abruptly dies, the leadership of the knights -- in fact their very existence -- is challenged. Jeff Crook's novel tells a tale of the Knights of Solamnia, the greatest knightly order on Krynn, faced with what may be their greatest challenge.
Der Autor über sein Buch
Hanging by a thread held in the grimy hand of a gully dwarfNine years have passed since the Chaos War, and the Knights of Solamnia have yet to fully rebuild their forces. Huge dragons from across the sea have invaded Krynn, upsetting the delicate balance of power salvaged from the destruction of the forces of Chaos. Lord Gunthar uth Wistan, the elderly Grandmaster of the Knights of Solamnia, proposes a bold plan which could make the Knighthood the most powerful force on Krynn. But before he can fully set his schemes in motion, tragedy strikes, leaving the ancient order of knighthood vulnerable to destruction without even the fall of a single swordstroke. The fate of the Knights, perhaps the fate of Krynn, hinges on a dread secret known only by a frightened gully dwarf.
Ten years have passed since first I read the Dragonlance Chronicles, and little did I suspect, as I read of the adventures of Tanis and Tasslehoff and Raistlin, that I would one day be telling my own tales of the world of Krynn. I am glad to be here, and I hope to stay for a bit - it's a good place, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.
