Fantasy literature is set to welcome a monumental return as Random House Worlds announces a new trilogy in the beloved Dragonlance universe. The publishing giant has unveiled Dragonlance: War Wizard, a prequel series penned by the iconic duo behind the franchise, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

Legendary Authors Reunite for Epic Return

For decades, the world of Krynn has enchanted readers with its rich lore, heroic quests, and moral complexities. With Weis and Hickman at the helm once again, fans can expect a story that stays true to the original while venturing into uncharted territories within the franchise's timeline.

A New Era in the Dragonlance Universe

Set before the events of the original Dragonlance Chronicles, War Wizard delves into the Third Dragon War, a period of chaos where dragons cast a shadow over the land. The story centers on the conflict between Solamnic knighthood and the forbidden practice of arcane magic.

The Forbidden Gift of Magius

In Solamnia, magic is reviled, especially by the knights. Magius, a young man born with a rare magical gift, faces persecution from his own father and the ruling knights. His struggle against societal norms forms the emotional core of the narrative.

An Unlikely Friendship

Amidst the turmoil, Magius forms a deep bond with Huma, a young knight-in-training. Their friendship, built on mutual understanding and defiance, bridges the gap between two worlds meant to remain apart. The story traces their journey from outcasts to legends.

Fresh Perspective for New and Old Fans

This prequel offers a fresh entry point for new readers while providing veteran fans with historical depth. By focusing on character growth and the power of friendship, War Wizard promises an intimate yet epic narrative.

Anticipation Builds for 2026 Release

The first book in the trilogy is set to release on August 4, 2026. As the literary world awaits, Dragonlance: War Wizard stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Weis and Hickman's storytelling.
