Many years have passed since Price
Dagnarus and Gareth unleashed the terrifying power of the Void magic
upon Vinnengael, laying waste to the human kingdom. With the once-proud
realm shattered and in ruins, much of its history would have been
forgotten but for the Monks of the Five Dragons, who for generations
have recorded the events of that time upon their bodies. And it is upon
the mummified remains of one such monk that the human Dominion Lord,
Gustav, finally achieves his lifelong quest and learns the location of
the lost portion of the Sovereign Stone. This legendary artefact is the
only thing that can stand against the dark power of Dagnarus.
But this discovery is not without its price. Dagnarus has also been
searching for the four parts of the Stone and Gustav must do battle for
it with one of Dagnarus’s fearsome, otherworldly servants. Witness to
this encounter is Bashae, a young man from a nearby village, and the
dwarf, Wolfram. Gustav emerges victorious but mortally wounded, and
entrusts the stone to Bashae, without revealing its significance.
Bashae must make the long and dangerous journey to the Elven lands and
deliver the jewel to a trusted friend of Gustav’s who will ensure it
reaches the altar built for it in New Vinnengael. At all costs, the
Stone must stay out of Dagnarus’s hands but Bashae and his companions
are soon fighting off the monstrous servants of the Prince as he
unleashes a diabolical war, hoping to seize the Stone in the conflict.
In a brilliantly inventive tale of perilous quests, dauntless courage
and dark magic, bestselling Dragonlance authors Margaret Weis and Tracy
Hickman reach new storytelling heights with this heart-stopping
continuation to the Sovereign Stone trilogy.
