The Complete Saga
Book Collection
Following the Cataclysm, Krynn is plunged into centuries of chaos, famine, and political ruin. The gods seemingly abandon the world, and magic becomes feared or forgotten. Faith shatters, and the people turn to survival. This is the era in which the Chronicles trilogy begins. The return of the dragons and the rediscovery of divine and arcane magic signal a slow but vital rebirth of hope. The War of the Lance becomes a pivotal event, restoring balance to the world and reuniting mortals with the gods. Still, wounds from the Cataclysm run deep, and the struggle between good and evil remains far from over.
Discover the early history of Raistlin Majere—one of Dragonlance’s most complicated yet beloved characters—in this prequel to the New York Times-bestselling Dragonlance Chronicles.
A mage’s soul is forged in the crucible of magic.
Raistlin Majere is six years old when he meets an archmage who enrolls him in a school for the study of magic. There, the gifted and talented but tormented boy comes to see magic as his salvation. Mages in the magical Tower of High Sorcery watch him in secret, for they see shadows darkening over Raistlin even as the same shadows lengthen over Ansalon.
As Raistlin’s wizarding apprenticeship nears its end, he must take the Dread Test in the Tower of High Sorcery. It will change his life forever—if he survives.
The Soulforge is the first of two novels in The Raistlin Chronicles series, followed by Brothers in Arms.
