title: Dragons of a Fallen Sun (Dragonlance: The War of Souls, Volume I)
author:  Margaret Weis 
description: Finally! Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have returned to Krynn, picking up at long last Dragonlance's seminal--and best--story line. Following directly on the heels of 1996's <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786905239/${0}">Dragons of Summer Flame</a></i>, this new trilogy (dubbed <i>The War of Souls</i>) continues the arc begun with their phenomenally popular Chronicles series released so many moons ago. This first installment, <i>Dragons of a Fallen Sun</i>, sets up another epic conflict for the poor war-torn, dragon-beset populace of Krynn, some 40 years after the close of the Chaos War (and even longer since the triumph of the Companions in the War of the Lance), with the great dragons holding sway over most of Ansalon.
