Back Cover Text: The War of the Lance has ended. The darkness has passed.
Or has it?
One man, the powerful archmage Raistlin, intends that the darkness
return.
Two people alone can stop him. One is Crysania, a beautiful cleric
of good, who is drawn to Raistlin as a moth is drawn to flame. The
other is his twin, Caramon, who must come to an understanding of himself
before he can redeem his brother.
Together with the irrepressible kender, Tasslehoff, these three take
a perilous journey back in time to the days just before the Cataclysm.
In the doomed city of Istar, poised on the brink of disaster, dark
magic and darker ambition battle love and self-sacrifice in a quest to
save not only the world but more importantly--a soul.
Review: Weis and Hickman come back strong!! I really enjoyed reading
about Istar right before the Cataclysm and the people's attitudes in that
era. It certainly cleared up a fuzzy area for me. But that
is nothing compared to the sizzling meeting between the Master of the Past
and Present and the Master of the Past, and I really mean sizzling.
Now I don't want to give away too much....You've got to read this.
