About Dragons of a Fallen Sun

Forty years have passed since the devasting Chaos War, when the gods departed Krynn. Cruel and powerful dragons have seized control of Ansalon, dividing the continent among them and demanding tribute from the people they have enslaved. Heroes of the past have gone to their welldeserved rest. Now new heroes take their place to continue the battle against evil. Change_for good or for ill_comes to the world. A violent magical storm sweeps over Ansalon, bringing flood and fire, death and destruction. Out of the tumult rises a strange, mystic young woman. Her destiny is bound up with that of Krynn. For she alone knows the truth about the future, a future strangely and enextricably tied to the terrifying mystery in Krynn's past.
