Dungeons & Dragons has spawned numerous novels over the decades, but some of the most celebrated are the original Dragonlance Chronicles novel trilogy written by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis.

The book launches February 4, and preorders are discounted to just $31.50 (was $35) at Amazon.
Dragonlance Chronicles Hardcover Omnibus
$31.50 (was $35) | Releases February 4
Dragonlance Chronicles is a 1,056-page omnibus featuring the three original novels in the series co-written by Hickman and Weis: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning. It also features an all-new cover illustration and a foreword by actor (and hardcore D&D enthusiast) Joe Manganiello.
The series is based in the official Dragonlance campaign setting for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons First and Second Editions, which itself was borne out of Hickman and Weis' D&D sessions in the early 1980s. The high fantasy trilogy follows a band of adventurers who get swept up in an epic conflict known as the War of the Lance. The trilogy was published alongside numerous other official D&D works set in the Dragonlance universe, including adventure modules, spin-off board games, video games, and more.
While the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy served as the official storyline for the original AD&D Dragonlance modules, future editions of D&D have also featured official modules and expansions set in the Dragonlance setting, including the most recent Fifth Edition. Aside from the official game materials, it has spawned over 190 spin-off novels, including two follow-up books to the original trilogy, Dragonlance Chronicles: The Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame. Unfortunately, physical copies of both books are sold out, but you can pick up Kindle and audiobook editions of Summer Flame at Amazon.
