THE GODS RETURN As a group of companions, long separated, gather before
the fire at the Inn of the Last Home, they encounter a mysterious young
woman bearing a blue crystal staff and a breathtaking message: The gods
have returned. Centuries before, the gods in their wrath hurled down a
mountain on the empire of Istar and departed the world, enraged at the
arrogance of humankind. Now they have returned. But in their wake, evil
has again spread across Krynn. Strange creatures, half-human,
half-reptile, lurk in dark shadows. Knights swearing allegiance to the
Dark Goddess Takhisis are gathering, planning war. Fleeing from danger
behind them and into unknown perils before them, the small band of
friends begin their epic journey through the land of Ansalon. They must
guard Goldmoon and her staff, spreading her message of hope. And they
must seek the legendary weapon that can turn the battle against the
terror of Takhisis. The dragonlance.
