Margaret Weis / Tracy Hickman
overview
One man, the powerful archmage Raistlin, intends that the darkness shall return. Two people alone can stop him: Crysania, a beautiful cleric of good, and Caramon, Raistlin's twin brother, who must first understand himself before he can redeem his brother. Together with Tasslehoff, the irrepressible kender, the three of them embark on a perilous journey back through time to the days before the Cataclysm. In the doomed city of Istar, poised on the brink of disaster, dark magic and darker ambition battle with love and self-sacrifice in a quest to save not only the world but, more importantly, a soul.
