This is the first title in a trilogy centering around the character of Linsha Majere, the grandchild of one of the central characters to the entire Dragonlance saga. One of the author's previous titles, The Clandestine Circle, introduced this character to Dragonlance readers. This title and trilogy advances the story of the world after the events of the best-selling War of Souls trilogy and also introduces a major new villain to the setting.
