It’s official! Dragons of Deceit by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, published by Del Rey, will be released August 9th, 2022. We’re returning to old friends while introducing a new heroine to the classic world of Dragonlance.
We also have the official blurb for the book, thanks to a previous leak that revealed the thrust of the new trilogy and the identity of the series’ new protagonist, Destina Rosenthorn.
“The first new ‘Dragonlance’ novel from Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman in over a decade, and featuring fan-favorite characters from the iconic first two trilogies, Dragonlance Chronicles and Dragonlance Legends–books that brought a generation of readers into the fantasy fold.
Destina Rosethorn–as her name implies–believes herself to be very much a favored child of destiny. But when her father dies in the War of the Lance, her carefully-constructed world comes crashing down. Not only does she lose her beloved father, but the legacy he has left her: a wealthy fiance, and rule over the family lands and castle. With nothing left in the world to support her but wits and determination, she hatches a bold plan: to secure the Device of Time Journeying she read about in one of her father’s books and prevent her father’s death.
The last known holder of the Device was one of the Heroes of the Lance: the free-spirited kender, Tasselhoff Burrfoot. But when Destina arrives in Solace–home not only to Tas, but to fellow heroes Caramon and Tika Majere–she sets into motion a chain of events more deadly than she had ever anticipated: one that could change not only her personal history, but the fate of the entire world, allowing a previously-defeated evil to once again gain ascendancy.”
This first book will set up the series. So come and check out Destina Rosenthorn and a new adventure that could shake up the whole world. What defeated evil might it be referring to? Fistandantulus? Soth? Some darker force altogether? Let us know what you think.
Happy Adventuring!
