Dragons.
Creatures of legend. Stories told to children.
But now dragons have returned to Krynn. The darkness of war and destruction threatens to engulf the land.
Then hope appears - a blue crystal staff in the hands of a beautiful barbarian woman. The promise of hope, as fleeting as smoke upon the autumn wind, forces a group of long-time friends into the unlikely roles of heroes.
Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-elf, dwarf and kender and dark-souled mage; they begin a perilous quest for-
the legendary Dragonlance.

This trilogy is probably one of the best in the Dragonlance setting. The plot through the 3 books must be enjoyed as a whole. The book starts in a rather classical fantasy adventure quest manner, but it soon shows that it's way more than that with deep characterisation and a very rich plot filled with suspense, action, drama, romance, and humor. You would be missing out on a lot if you skip the Chronicles.
I love rereading Dragonlance because I loved it as a teenager. It does read a bit awkwardly like a transcript of someone's D&D campaign, especially this first volume. But it also has surprising moments of depth and complexity.
I loved this series when I was like fourteen, and was wondering how well it held up. Eh, not bad for tie in fiction, I guess. Very of its time.
