About this ebook
Experience the magical world of Krynn in this first epic fantasy adventure in the Dragonlance Chronicles, inspired by Dungeons & Dragons!
Once merely creatures of legend, the dragons have returned to Krynn. But with their arrival comes the departure of the old gods—and all healing magic. As war threatens to engulf the land, lifelong friends reunite for an adventure that will change their lives and shape their world forever . . .
When Tanis, Sturm, Caramon, Raistlin, Flint, and Tasslehoff see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager, they wonder if it's a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all. Fueled by this glimmer of hope, the Companions band together to uncover the truth behind the gods' absence—though they aren't the only ones with an interest in the staff. The Seekers want the artifact for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and overtake the continent of Ansalon. Now, the Companions must assume the unlikely roles of heroes if they hope to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness.

I had never read a book all the way through when I was 12. I really liked going to book stores in the 80s and saw a display with all 3 books. I got my dad to buy them all and it was like opening a door to something I'd never imagined! The first Dragonlance book is PERFECT for a parent to try to get their child into reading. They will want to read the whole series and likely more. HIGHLY recommend.. for all ages.

The Chronicles are all Fantasy Masterpieces. I love each of the companions like they were family. I've been in love with Raistlin since I read Dragons of Autumn Twilight... hiding amongst the rubbish in my junior high's library. Lucky to find the First book First! Now 28, I still love all the chronicles and have read them in their entirety over seven times I'm sure. If you "like" fantasy fiction, you will be ADDICTED to the Dragonlance Chronicles.

I originally read the War of Souls trilogy a few years ago, which was my first introduction to this universe. I liked it so much I went back to read this, the original trilogy. This book is a great read, but the story does suffer now and then from lesser writing quality. Characters have a regular habit of getting lucky just in the nick of time. Some scenes are described in painful detail, while others are completely glossed over. Still, if you love dragons, wizards, elves, and the like then you will probably enjoy this book and the entire series.
