Hey, there, avid readers! I know it has sure been a while since I shared a cover reveal, but here we are again! I promise this year, I will try to stay on top of the news more and share more reveals as they come my way.
Now, you all know how I feel about Dragonlance. I literally got the logo tattooed on my arm, complete with the red dragon wrapped around it. I love Dragonlance. LOVE IT! And finally, FINALLY, Weis & Hickman have revealed the cover for their second book in their Dragonlance: Destinies trilogy.
Dear readers, feast your eyes on Dragons of Fate.
I absolutely love the fact that the artwork is reminiscent of the classic 80’s covers. I also love that we have gone back into time to the third dragon war! Huma versus Tahksis, Queen of Dragons! And who do we have to join them? Well our heroes of course. Raistlin and Sturm. I’m really hoping for Destina to really grow here. Don’t get me wrong, I like her, but if you read my review, Solamnic Knights are the worst! They’re just so stuck up. Yeah they’re (mostly) noble, but ugh, they are not my favorite people.
Synopsis
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 the thrilling sequel to Dragons of Deceit.
A clash of powerful magical forces sets off the Graygem of Gargath, sending Destina and her companions deeper into the past than she intended—to the age of Huma Dragonsbane and the Third Dragon War. Now, after the Device of Time Journeying shatters, they must find another way back to their own era, before the Graygem alters history irrevocably and the Third Dragon War ends in defeat for the forces of good.
With the battle raging 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. Meanwhile, 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.
Dragons of Fate will go on sale on August 1, 2023.
