    • I due dragoni più potenti si contendono la supremazia su Ansalon. Malystryx e Khellendros hanno collaborato in segreta collusione finchè, mentre crescevano la loro mole e la loro forza, sono oltremodo cresciute la loro ambizione e la loro sete di potere. Il Drago Blu trama una congiura per emergere sugli altri dragoni e la reazione furiosa alla scoperta del complotto teso a Malys è spropositata come le gigantesche dimensioni e l’energia vendicativa del drago vittima dell’inganno. Intanto gli eroi della nuova era allestiscono le loro strategie, mentre diventa chiaro che le ragioni del cuore eserciteranno un ruolo fondamentale nella battaglia contro i dragoni che hanno devastato la loro terra. Ma può la forza dello spirito - l’emozione pura, la fede - prevalere sulla forza bruta? La battaglia contro la nefasta supremazia dei dragoni e la lotta per l’affermazione del Bene giungono al loro esito con la conclusione dell’epica trilogia della Quinta Era.

      Jean Rabe returns to the world of Dragonlance with a tale of slavery, rebellion, and the struggle for freedom! When a series of earthquakes strike a Dark Knight mining camp, goblin and hobgoblin slaves take advantage of the bedlam and revolt.

Casualties on both sides climb as a leader emerges among the slave force --Direfang, a hobgoblin foreman with deep scars and a long, brutal history of servitude. He must rally the surviving goblins and hobgoblins and lead them out of Neraka, turning his rag-tag force into an army that will not allow itself to be enslaved again.

Goldmoon, miembro del grupo original de los Compañeros, no se da por vencida y busca nuevos héroes que desafíen a los dragones. Un hombre atormentado responde a su llamada, y a él se unen una hermosa kalanesti, un enano apellidado Fireforge, un arrojado marinero de piel negra y su compañera (un semiogro), un lobo rojo y, cómo no, un par de kenders.
