Dragons of Fate

Dragonlance Destinies: Volume 2

By: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

A courageous heroine trapped in the distant past is determined to return to her own time—without changing the shape of the world forever—as the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series continues in this thrilling sequel to Dragons of Deceit.

A clash of powerful magical forces sets off the Graygem of Gargath, sending Destina Rosethorn and her companions deeper into the past than she intended—to the age of Huma Dragonsbane and the Third Dragon War. Now, with the Device of Time Journeying shattered, they must find another way back to their own era before the Graygem irrevocably alters history and the Third Dragon War ends in defeat for the forces of good.

While the battle rages on, Destina tries desperately to make amends and prevent disaster. Raistlin and Sturm encounter their heroes Huma and Magius, and must reconcile the myths with the men. And Tasslehoff, shocked that the Knights of Solamnia have never heard of dragonlances, sets out to find the famed weapons.

But as the forces of the Dark Queen close in on the High Clerist’s Tower, Destina’s party must return to their own timeline together—or not at all.

Critic reviews

“I love Dragonlance and I love Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman: plain and simple. Their books are my favorite fantasy series of all time. I love the stories and ideas but most of all, I love the characters. Why do we all feel like we know them? They are what spurred me to start working for D&D and inevitably what inspired me to pursue a career in showrunning.” (Joe Manganiello)

“A love letter to fans.” (Nerdist)

“It is truly a very nice return to a well-loved world, and it is handled with care and great passion by the two authors who introduced us to Krynn all those years ago. Dragons of Deceit is fun, adventurous and heartwarming in all the right spots. Those new to this land, welcome. Sit back, open up and enjoy the journey.” (Bookreporter)

A Journey back in time, for the reader as well

What a journey, some got to meet there hero’s we get to meet them all

Pretty good

much better than the first one, which wasted over half the book just to introduce Destinas backstory. That being said, it's a good story, though Im seeing a repeat trend from the Twins trilogy and feel like I know how it will end. I'm enjoying it and hope I am surprised with the third one. The narrator is very good but there are some words that drive me insane. She doesn't say Solamnia or Mishakahl correctly, unless every other narrator is wrong, which is possible. I should google what the authors say. She even said pronounces Raistlin "Wrastlin" once, but only once. Reminds me of Ax Norman, the worst narrator ever. Overall it's great and she's great though.

More Intriguing

The twists on this second book are really starting to bring me in. Utilizing classic characters engaging with new ones. Swirling old lore with new possibilities. I really enjoyed it! Again, the narrator isn’t my favorite, but she does a fine enough job.

Ready for book 3 already

I have read Margaret Weiss’s Dragonlance books for 25 years and this return to Raistlin and Tasslehoff is just amazing… so thrilled and thankful…

Best Dragonlance novel in YEARS

I was very disappointed at the decanonizing of The Legend of Huma which was one of my favorites, but this story more than delivered on its own merits. The last few chapters had me on the edge of my seat and I am unbelievably thrilled to see the trilogy's finale. more thrilled to see a book in a very long time.
