Legendary Fantasy Authors Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman are back with a new Dragonlance novel. This time around, they are diving back in time to show how one of the oldest origin stories from the Dragonlance world came about. 

The novel follows Huma Dragonbane and Magius and how their unlikely friendship began during the Third Dragon War. Now it is the first of a new 3-book Dragonlance Trilogy, so the other 2 books will also follow them as well. The novel’s full description reads: 

“Vinus Solamnus wrote: The practice of magic is secretive, inherently deceitful, and dishonorable. Those who practice magic are forbidden to enter the knighthood, nor should they be connected to the knighthood in any way.

The boy with a rare gift for magic was born in Solamnia, a nation that despised and distrusted mages. His father tried to beat the magic out of him. The knights threatened him with imprisonment and exile. He endured tragedy and heartbreak. Yet he persisted with his magic, for the sake of the magic.   

One friend stood by him when others persecuted him, a young man who was studying for the knighthood. No one could understand this unlikely friendship. 

The knight was Huma. The boy took the name, Magius. The two would one day become famous in Solamnic history, fighting together to defeat the Queen of Darkness. 

But that future is distant, far down the River of Time. 

For now, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that would one day change the world.” 

Dragonlance: War Wizard releases August 4th.
