Publisher Description

Raistlin Majere has become a Black Robe wizard and travels to Neraka, the lord city of the Dark Queen, ostensibly to work for her, though in reality he means to further his own quest for power. But Takhisis finds out that the dragon orb has entered her city and sends her draconians to find and destroy the wizard who has it in his possession. Before her agents can strike, though, Raistlin finds out that Takhisis means to take control of all wizardly magic. She has ordered Kitiara to set a trap for the Gods of Magic on the Night of the Eye, when all the high-ranking wizards will be in Neraka to celebrate.

As the forces of light, with help from the good dragons, are turning the tide of battle, Raistlin is forced to flee, for his foes are closing in on him. As the Dragon Highlords vie for the Crown of Power in the Temple of the Dark Queen, Raistlin Majere wages his own desperate battle against Takhisis in the dungeons below and meets again the brother he betrayed. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

"Raistlin has definitely grown on me since I first read Dragons of Autumn Twilight. This story of Raistlin's journey was fantastic, compelling. The untold story of the Hourglass Mage adds a depth to the War of the Lance, and is my favorite book in the Lost Chronicles. "

    " Like the first of the series, this is one that I couldn't put down. Then again any book with Raistlin is the lead, is hard to put down. "

    " Weis & Hickman give us a typically decent book that, like the rest of the Lost Chronicles, fleshes out some alternative viewpoints. "

    " Raistlin has always been one of my favorite characters of the Dragonlance collection, and all the different stories slowly tying together the mage's life as he spans across ages gradually all makes sense with each additional piece of the puzzle. "

    " I almost gave this one three stars, as it's probably the best paced book of the Lost Chronicles, and it focus entirely on Raistlin, which is always a plus. But the ending of the book--the last couple three pages--are so frustratingly awful that I had to drop my rating down to two stars. I understand the authors are trying to avoid repeating the events detailed in the Chronicles series, but that means that this book ends so abruptly that it doesn't even feel like a real ending, much less the ending of an entire trilogy. "

    " LOVE IT!!!! Raistlin is my very favorite character!! They managed to write this book without altering his personality, though they did shed some light on the decisions he made and why. GREAT READ!!!! "

    " It wasn't as dark as I expected it to be (a story about how someone becomes the most evil person on the planet should be dark) but it was still enjoyable. "

    " I have to say this one of my favorite's out of the Dragonlance world. This is the tale of the great mage Raistlin Majere and what adventure he experienced after using the Dragon Orb to save his life. "

    " As a former fan of the series I just had to read this one. I had great expectations for it. Somehow I didn't believe this book. I found it a bit non-imaginative. May be it's due to the topic of the main characters being dug over for such a long time. There's nothing more to write about. "

    " I know Raistlin Majere is a dark and evil Mage but he is my favorite fictional character. I have so joyed the Dragonlance stories that he is in. I hate to think that this is the last one but I don't see how there could be more. "

    " Though most people felt the Hourglass Mage was the best of the Lost Chronicles, I felt that this story fell short of the novels that happened concurrent with this one. "
