A confrontation with the Queen of Darkness is finally within Raistlin’s reach—and Caramon will do anything to stop it—in the epic finale of the Dragonlance Legends.

Defying the fate that claimed his evil predecessor, Raistlin opens the Portal to the Abyss and passes through. With Crysania at his side, he engages the Queen of Darkness in a battle for the ultimate prize—a seat among the gods.

At the same time, Caramon and Tasslehoff are transported to the future. They come to understand the consequences of Raistlin’s quest—and Caramon at last realizes the painful sacrifice he must make to prevent his brother’s success. Old friends and strange allies come together to aid him, but Caramon must take the last, greatest step alone: the first step into the Abyss.

The world of Krynn stands on the edge of annihilation—not at the hands of dragons or armies, but through the ambition of one man: Raistlin Majere. Having bested both mortal and divine powers, Raistlin prepares to enter the Abyss to challenge Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness, and take her place as a god. With every step, his strength grows, his compassion withers, and his brother Caramon is left with a single, terrible truth: if Raistlin succeeds, he will not just replace the Queen—he will unmake the world.

As Raistlin opens the Portal to the Abyss, Caramon and Tasslehoff Burrfoot—sent back in time to prevent disaster—find themselves in a ruined future. There, they witness a desolate world where Raistlin has indeed defeated Takhisis but rules over nothing. It is a chilling vision of triumph without purpose, where all life has withered in the shadow of his godhood. Caramon realizes that his brother, for all his brilliance and power, is on a path not to ascension, but to utter solitude and destruction.

Desperate to stop this future from coming to pass, Caramon returns to his own time. He must face not only the armies gathering under the banner of the Dragon Highlord Ariakas, but also the destiny entwined with his brother’s. Caramon, once dismissed as Raistlin’s shadow, now takes the lead—rallying forces, uniting broken alliances, and preparing for one last confrontation.

As the final battle rages in the mortal realm, Raistlin enters the Abyss alone, confronting Takhisis in a realm of eternal darkness. In their titanic battle of wills, Raistlin gains the upper hand—but when he senses the toll his victory would exact, he hesitates. Faced with the vision of a lifeless world, he chooses sacrifice over godhood. In an act of unexpected humility, he allows himself to be sealed within the Abyss, trapping both himself and the Queen of Darkness beyond the mortal plane.

Caramon, returned from the ruined future and changed by all he has seen, honors his brother’s choice. The Portal is destroyed, and the threat to Krynn is ended—not by might, but by a bond of brotherhood, hard-earned and deeply tested.

Test of the Twins brings the Legends trilogy to a haunting, powerful close. It is a tale of ambition, sacrifice, redemption, and love between brothers torn apart by fate. Though Raistlin does not die in battle or ascend to divinity, his decision echoes louder than any victory: he becomes a legend not for what he achieved, but for what he chose to surrender.
