Blood of the Emperor
From the New York Times co-author of the Dragonlance novels... the stunning conclusion to The Annals of Drakis.
It appears that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled as the human named Drakis — formerly one of countless warrior-slaves to the elves of the Rhonas Empire — returns from his quest in the North. Flying into the rebel camp with his surviving companions on the backs of the legendary dragons that were once humankind’s most powerful allies, Drakis is hailed as the champion of all the slave races.
But it is not a prophecy that drives Drakis in his war against the elves and their emperor. Rather it is his burning desire for revenge against the cruel ruler whom Drakis believes has stolen any chance he has for finding peace. And this hatred will set Drakis and his rebel army on a path that may not only bring down the emperor but Drakis and his entire world as well...

Tracy Hickman
In the realm of epic fantasy, where dragons soar and destinies hang by a thread, Tracy Hickman has long stood as both cartographer and conjurer—drawing maps of worlds no one knew they needed and breathing life into characters readers can’t forget. Best known as the co-creator of the Dragonlance saga alongside Margaret Weis, Hickman didn’t just help define a genre—he gave it a soul.
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1955, Hickman was steeped in stories from a young age—not only the fantasy tales he loved, but the oral traditions of faith, family, and frontier that surrounded him. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked jobs that ranged from theater tech to glass sales, each adding something unexpected to his narrative lens. But it was a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, designed for fun and shared among friends, that would alter the course of fantasy literature forever.
