Joram regresa del Más Allá junto con Gwendolyn, su esposa. Lo primero que hace es romper el hechizo que pesa sobre Saryon y éste deja de ser una estatua de piedra. De este modo, Joram recupera la Espada Arcana aprisionada en las pétreas manos del catalista. La llegada de Joram coincide con el inicio de la guerra con Sharakan y Merilon y él se verá obligado a ayudar a los habitantes de su mundo en la lucha contra el temible y extraño ejércityo procedente del Más Allá, mandado por un diabólico hechicero llamado Menju, cuyo objeto es apoderarse de toda la Magia y dominar el universo.

La guerra contra los dragones siervos de la Reina de la Oscuridad sigue su curso. Armados con los misteriosos y mágicos Orbes de los Dragones y con la resplandeciente Dragonlance, los compañeros se convierten en la esperanza del mundo. Pero ahora, cuando amanece un nuevo día, los oscuros secretos que han ensombrecido los corazones de este grupo de amigos salen a la luz. La traición, el engaño, la debilidad, estarán a punto de destruir todo lo que ya han conseguido. Les queda por librar la más grande de las batallas: cada uno consigo mismo. Y al final, serán héroes.

Son amigos de toda la vida que siguieron caminos distintos. Ahora vuelven a reunirse, aunque cada uno oculta a los demás algún secreto particular. Hablan de un mundo sobre el que se cierne la sombra de la guerra, cuentan historias de extraños monstruos, de criaturas míticas forjadas en la leyenda, pero no dicen nada de sus secretos. Al menos, no por el momento. No los revelarán hasta que se encuentren con una misteriosa y enigmática mujer, que porta una vara mágica. Ella hará que el grupo de amigos se vea inmerso en las sombras, y que sus vidas cambien para siempre, al tiempo que forjan el destino del mundo. Nadie esperaba que fueran unos héroes. Y ellos, menos que nadie.

Born without magic, Joram was one of the Dead, denied the throne of Merilon. For years, he lived among outlaws, surviving by wit and sleight-of-hand. Now, wielding the powerful, magic absorbing Darksword, Joram retums to the enchanted Kingdom that once was his home to win revenge and claim his birthright. Here he will test Bishop Vanya and his fierce army of Duuk-tsarith in a battle unlike any their world has known. Joined by the scholarly catalyst Saryon, the young mage Mosiah, and the trickster Simkin, Jorma confronts the shattering secret of his past and discovers the ancient prophecy that puts the fate of the world in his hands--the hands that forged the Darksword.

En el reino de Merilon, Magia significa Vida. Nacido sin poderes mágicos y privado de su herencia, a Joram se le da por muerto; sin embargo, el joven llega a la edad adulta en un remoto pueblo campesino, ocultando su carencia de poderes gracias a que se mantiene siempre alerta y a sus grandes dotes de prestidigitación. Obligado a matar a un hombre en defensa propia, Joram ya no puede ocultar por más tiempo su secreto y huye al País del Destierro. Allí se encuentra con Saryon, con quien iniciará la búsqueda de un destino más noble, un destino que se inicia con el descubrimiento de los libros secretos que les permitirán derribar al malvado usurpador, Blachloch… y forjar una poderosa arma que absorbe la Magia: la Espada de Joram.

Thousands of years ago, the mad emperor Lokan controlled the Nightsword--and imposed his twisted desires on all that lived. Then Lokan mysteriously vanished behind the Maelstrom Wall, into the quantum chaos of the galactic core. But legend says that somewhere behind the Wall, the Nightsword is hidden, its awesome energies waiting to be used again . . . for good or evil.When Earther astronaut Jeremy Griffiths donned the Mantle of Kendis-Dai and became blessed--and perhaps cursed--with infinite knowledge, he learned the exact direction of Lokan's ill-fated route. And now the secrets stored in his head have made him the target of everyone who has ever coveted the Nightsword for their own ends. Griffiths wants only to get his crew safely home to Earth--and to impress the bewitching, bewildering Merinda Neskat. Yet he is caught firmly in the middle of galactic agendas beyond his control, and this new quest will prove to be the challenge of a lifetime . . .

The only hope for freedom lies with the Mantle of Kendis-Dai, a relic reputed to hold the power of absolute Truth.

Merinda Neskat, dedicated to the pursuit of Truth above all, is determined to find the legendary Mantle. The key to her quest is a group of lost Earthpeople, led by the feckless Jeremy Griffiths, who holds knowledge he shouldn't have - and doesn't understand. Together, Merinda, Jeremy and his companions set off on a dangerous race against time and deadly enemy forces, seeking a mysterious world that holds the secret that can save them - or destroy the path of civilisation for ever.

From the New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dragonlance novels...the stunning conclusion to The Annals of Drakis. It appears that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled as the human named Drakis--formerly one of countless warrior-slaves to the elves of the Rhonas Empire--returns from his quest in the North. Flying into the rebel camp with his surviving companions on the backs of the legendary dragons that were once humankind's most powerful allies, Drakis is hailed as the champion of all the slave races. But it is not a prophecy that drives Drakis in his war against the elves and their emperor. Rather it is his burning desire for revenge against the cruel ruler whom Drakis believes has stolen any chance he has for finding peace. And this hatred will set Drakis and his rebel army on a path that may not only bring down the emperor, but Drakis and his entire world as well....
