A courageous heroine trapped in the distant past is determined to return to her own time—without changing the shape of the world forever—as the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series continues in this thrilling sequel to Dragons of Deceit.

A clash of powerful magical forces sets off the Graygem of Gargath, sending Destina Rosethorn and her companions deeper into the past than she intended—to the age of Huma Dragonsbane and the Third Dragon War. Now, with the Device of Time Journeying shattered, they must find another way back to their own era before the Graygem irrevocably alters history and the Third Dragon War ends in defeat for the forces of good.

While the battle rages on, Destina tries desperately to make amends and prevent disaster. Raistlin and Sturm encounter their heroes Huma and Magius, and must reconcile the myths with the men. And Tasslehoff, shocked that the Knights of Solamnia have never heard of dragonlances, sets out to find the famed weapons.

But as the forces of the Dark Queen close in on the High Clerist’s Tower, Destina’s party must return to their own timeline together—or not at all.

Margaret Weis

Margaret Weis

In the sprawling worlds of epic fantasy, few names echo with the same resonance as Margaret Weis. Her stories aren't merely told—they are lived, breathed, and carried in the imaginations of readers who first wandered through the war-torn lands of Dragonlance and never truly left. Weis didn’t just write fantasy—she helped shape it during a time when the genre itself was still defining its voice.

Born in Missouri in 1948, Margaret Weis was a quiet but voracious reader, drawn not to fairy tales or whimsical fables, but to myths that roared with dragons, gods, and fate-bound heroes. She graduated from the University of Missouri in 1970 with a degree in creative writing and literature—training that sharpened her instinct for compelling narratives long before her stories found a stage.

It was at TSR, the company behind Dungeons & Dragons, where her path shifted from editor to architect of worlds. Paired with fellow writer Tracy Hickman, Weis co-created Dragonlance, a series that broke new ground by infusing role-playing lore with literary depth. With characters like Raistlin Majere and Tanis Half-Elven, Dragonlance Chronicles became more than a tie-in—it became canon for a generation of fantasy readers and gamers alike.

What sets Weis apart is not just her gift for building vast, believable worlds, but her ability to explore moral complexity within them. Her characters often wrestle with loyalty, ambition, sacrifice, and destiny—timeless themes made intimate. Whether charting the rise and fall of nations or the inner battle of a mage tempted by power, she brings a balance of mythic scale and human fragility to her prose.

Beyond Dragonlance, Weis has written across subgenres—from science fiction in The Star of the Guardians to dark fantasy in The Death Gate Cycle. Her voice adapts, but her core remains: a commitment to stories that challenge, inspire, and endure.

Despite decades of success and millions of books sold, Weis remains grounded in the love of storytelling. In interviews, she’s spoken of writing as “a form of escape—but also a way to understand the world.” It's this duality—escapism laced with introspection—that gives her novels their staying power.

Today, Margaret Weis continues to write, create, and inspire, not just as a bestselling author, but as a quiet revolutionary who helped prove that fantasy could be as rich, nuanced, and emotionally resonant as any other literary tradition. And for readers still journeying through Krynn or discovering it for the first time, her legacy grows with every page turned.
