In August 2022 the first new Dragonlance book in over a decade was released much to the delight of fans of both D&D and the world of Krynn. Entitled Dragons of Deceit the book was written by original Dragonlance creators and longtime fantasy authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, and is the first volume in a new planned trilogy entitled Dragonlance Destinies.
The book received generally favorable reviews among both fans and critics, and has renewed interest in the setting, which has also seen the recent release of a new D&D fifth edition campaign book entitled Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen.
Now, a much anticipated second novel in the series has finally been unveiled. Entitled Dragons of Fate the book is slated for release in August 2023, although you can pre-order it now from Amazon.
Here’s a brief description of the book:
A courageous heroine trapped in the distant past is determined to return to her own time—without changing the shape of the world forever—as the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dragons of Deceit.
A clash of powerful magical forces sets off the Graygem of Gargath, sending Destina and her companions deeper into the past than she intended—to the age of Huma Dragonsbane and the Third Dragon War. Now, after the Device of Time Journeying shatters, they must find another way back to their own era, before the Graygem alters history irrevocably and the Third Dragon War ends in defeat for the forces of good.
With the battle raging on, Destina tries desperately to make amends and prevent disaster. Raistlin and Sturm encounter their heroes, Huma and Magius, and must reconcile the myths with the men. Meanwhile, Tasslehoff—shocked that the Knights of Solamnia have never heard of dragonlances—sets out to find the famed weapons.
But as the forces of the Dark Queen close in on the High Clerist’s Tower, Destina’s party must return to their own timeline together—or not at all.
It’s worth noting that this is the first series in Krynn to be published in over a decade, and is one of over 200 Dragonlance books published to date.
