Synopsis

The War of the Lance is long over. The seasons come and go as the pendulum of the world swings. Now it is summer, a hot parched summer such as no one on Krynn has ever known. And an uneasy balance light and dark begins to shift.
 
Distraught by a grievous loss, the young mage Palin Majere seeks to enter the Abyss in search of his lost uncle, the infamous archmage Raistlin.
 
Elsewhere, the Dark Queen has found new champions. Devoted followers, loyal to the death, the Knights of Takhisis follow the her vision to victory. And a dark paladin, Steel Brightblade, rides to attack the High Clerist’s Tower, the fortress his father died defending.
 
And on a small Island, the mysterious Irda capture an ancient artifact and use it to ensure their own safety. Usha, the child of the Irda, arrives in Palanthas claiming that she is Raistlin’s daughter. 
 
The summer will be deadly. But for whom, only the swing of the pendulum will tell.

About this title

About the Author:

Margaret Weis is the author of numerous Dragonlance novels, many of them co-written with Tracy Hickman, including the New York Times bestselling War of Souls trilogy. She is also the author of the Star of the Guardian novels and the designer of many Dragonlance roleplaying products.

From AudioFile:

Weis and Hickman return to the hugely successful Dragonlance series with a war against the big guy himself, who is named Chaos but is actually the creator of everything. He's portrayed as a towering giant who can be subdued by a minor wound and a magical trick. All the usual fantasy elements are here: magic, elf-like fellows, spells, magicians, thieves, swords and sorcery. Reader Wanda McCaddon proceeds with rousing British intonations, bringing emotional effect through changes in pacing. She makes no attempt at character deline-ation but is expressive and surprisingly effective, mainly because she's obviously having a fine time. D.R.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
