Thrice upon a time, three champions will find one destiny.

A new wind blows through three worlds linked by dreams, beckoning heroes from each into unknown lands. For Galen Arvad's son, Caelith, slender hope takes the form of a stranger's vow to lead him to the lost ancestral home of the Mystics. The faery Dwynwyn seeks salvation for her people in a distant land of unquenchable horror – where the truth can bring peace to the living and the dead. And for the wizard-goblin Thux, a journey to the Ogre citadel may elevate him to the height of power – if his own allies do not kill him first.

Now three heroes embark on desperate odysseys. For each to survive, all must succeed – for all three worlds face the same doom...

Tracy Hickman

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.

That homegrown campaign eventually evolved into Dragonlance, a groundbreaking fusion of tabletop storytelling and literary narrative. With its tragic anti-heroes, moral ambiguity, and sweeping history, the series wasn’t just entertainment—it invited readers to wrestle with questions of power, faith, and the price of destiny. Hickman's narrative instincts helped anchor the series in emotional depth, while his worldbuilding gave it a sense of timeless myth.

But his imagination was never confined to Krynn. From the intricate cosmology of The Death Gate Cycle to the theological undertones of The Immortals and the steampunk-inspired Dragonships of Vindras, Hickman has shown a rare ability to traverse the spectrum of speculative fiction. His stories often carry the weight of spiritual conflict, the burden of prophecy, and a longing for redemption—all layered beneath the surface of swordfights and spellcasting.

Hickman’s influence extends beyond novels. He’s contributed to game design, co-authored roleplaying modules, and even created his own storytelling-driven board game experiences. For him, narrative isn't just about plot—it's about participation. “We’re all stories in the end,” he once said in an interview, reflecting his belief that storytelling is a communal, living force.

Even after decades in the field, Hickman continues to evolve—collaborating on new Dragonlance novels, exploring digital storytelling formats, and connecting with fans who grew up on his words. He remains a cornerstone of fantasy not because he clings to the old ways, but because he understands that magic, at its core, is about transformation.

Whether scripting the fall of gods or the rise of reluctant heroes, Tracy Hickman writes not just with ink, but with conviction. And in a genre shaped by endless worlds, he remains one of its most enduring architects.
