Dragonlance Chronicles

“Before there was Game of Thrones―there was Dragonlance.”—Vox

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Rediscover the world of Dragonlance with the first three novels in one of the most popular fantasy series of all time—now featuring a new foreword by Joe Manganiello!

Dragons.

Creatures of legend. Stories told to children.

But now dragons have returned to Krynn. The darkness of war and destruction threatens to engulf the land.

Then hope appears—a blue crystal staff in the hands of a beautiful barbarian woman. The promise of hope, as fleeting as smoke upon the autumn wind, forces a group of long-time friends into the unlikely roles of heroes.

Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-elf, dwarf and kender and dark-souled mage; they begin a perilous quest for—the legendary Dragonlance.

Dragonlance Chronicles features the novels Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning.
