Volume II of the Dragonlance Chronicles

1. Dragons of Autumn Twilight
2. Dragons of Winter Night
3. Dragons of Spring Dawning

Now the people know that the dragon minions of Takhisis, Queen of Darkness, have returned. The people of all nations prepare to fight to save their homes, their lives, and their freedom.

But the races have long been divided by hatred and prejudice. Elven warrior and human knights fight among themselves. It seems the battle has been lost before it begins.

The companions are separated, torn apart by war. A full season will pass before they meet again - if they meet again.

As the darkness deepens, a disgraced knight, a pampered elfmaiden, and a rattle-brained kender stand along in the pale winter sunlight.

Not much in the way of heroes.
