Synopsis

Raistlin Majere has become a Black Robe wizard and travels to Neraka, the lord city of the Dark Queen, ostensibly to work for her, though in reality he means to further his own quest for power. But Takhisis finds out that the dragon orb has entered her city and sends her draconians to find and destroy the wizard who has it in his possession. Before her agents can strike, though, Raistlin finds out that Takhisis means to take control of all wizardly magic. She has ordered Kitiara to set a trap for the Gods of Magic on the Night of the Eye, when all the high-ranking wizards will be in Neraka to celebrate. As the forces of light, with help from the good dragons, are turning the tide of battle, Raistlin is forced to flee, for his foes are closing in on him. As the Dragon Highlords vie for the Crown of Power in the Temple of the Dark Queen, Raistlin Majere wages his own desperate battle against Takhisis in the dungeons below and meets again the brother he betrayed. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Goodreads review by Jim on June 08, 2021

This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. Actually, I recommend reading the original trilogy before this one to get a better understanding of the main character. In this one, we get to see what Raistlin was doing in the time between his desertion of his brother and friends and his r......more

Goodreads review by Tim on June 12, 2017

I’m giving this book three stars, but before we get into the review proper, I must ask; what happened to Weis and Hickman? Looking at this book and comparing it to the original Chronicles or the Legends trilogy, it is like reading completely different authors. The language is much more simplistic, a......more

Goodreads review by T.C. on July 24, 2017

This was a decent book, but like the other two in the series, it took half to two-thirds of the book before it got interesting. It was nice to know what happened to Raislen when he left the group in the original trilogy. However, I wish there would have been more of a reconciliation ending. 3/5 star......more

Goodreads review by Christina Stind on September 16, 2009

Dragonlance was what introduced me to fantasy as an adult. I was charmed by the world and the creatures in it - especially the kender, a race unique to this setting. Over the years, I've read a lot of these novels and it is always enjoyable to enter this world. These books are a kind of comfort read......more

Goodreads review by Jasmine on February 25, 2013

This one was my favourite of the "Lost Chronicles" books- particularly the end, it was great seeing how this storyline fit in with the end of the original Spring Dawning. Overall, with the Lost Chronicles I think I'd give Dwarven Depths a 3.5, Highlord Skies a 4, and Hourglass Mage a 4.5. But since G......more
