"Dragons. Creatures of legend. Stories told to children. But now dragons have returned to Krynn. The darkness of war and destruction engulfs the land. A small band of heroes brings hope to the land. But the hope is fragile as a rose and may be lost completely, shattered by the bitter winds of winter. Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-elf, dwarf and kender and dark-soulded mage; they begin a perilous search for two artifacts that may help them or lead to their destruction--the Dragon Orb and the legendary Dragonlance."--Jacket.
