Product Description

The second book in the historical Kingpriest trilogy.

The Kingpriest trilogy chronicles the origins and development of a noted figure from the Dragonlance Legends trilogy, linking this new series to one of the top-selling trilogies in the entire Dragonlance backlist. Dragonlance is a rich world that lends itself to revisiting popular characters from prior series--an integral part of the publishing program.


About the Author

Chris Pierson has written numerous short stories set in the world of Krynn, as well as the Dragonlance novels Spirit of the Wind, Dezra's Quest, and Chosen of the Gods, the first volume in the Kingpriest trilogy. Pierson lives in Massachusetts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing, Jun 16 2004
By Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - See all my reviews
It was almost 4 star worthy but..

It wasn't what you envisioned when you heard this trilogy was coming out. It took me awhile to get into it & it was a little predictable. It did gain steam as it went on & the sly deceptions of Fistdantilus made up for its shortcomings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every Dragonlance fan, Dec 3 2003
By A Customer
Even if you are like me and have read every single DL book in print, this one will keep you very interested and wanting more! I'm so excited that the 3rd book just came out! I cant wait to read it too. So that all the peices from all the other DL books fall into place with this final Book of the trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meticulous, yet Vague, Sep 23 2002
By Richard J (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
Truely reflecting the height of the Istarian-era and the height of the Forces of Light, this book gives a meticulous account of the inner structure of the Church of Istar and the Istarian Empire. The history of the Church is revealed vaguely and the rise to power of the "Lightbringer" is somewhat weak and unoriginal. This book foreshadows the obssession that the Kingpriest (the Lightbringer) has with eradicating the Forces of Darkness - which many know will only bring about his own demise. I look forward to reading the entire Kingpriest Trilogy, and this book does a good job in establishing the background necessarily for fully comprehending the vastness and complexity of one of the largest and most powerful empires in Krynn's history. I give it five-stars because it establishes so much history - I hope the following two books can be clearer and utilize the background information provided to us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough book to write, but it got pulled off
I imagine that trilogies are hard to write, since you have to simultaneously offer the reader something at each step and hold enough back to excite them about the next one. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars The Last Kingpriest
This book tells the story of the last Kingpriest of Istar which means it had to contradict every other book in the entire series. It drove me crazy so I couldn't finish it.

2.0 out of 5 stars This isn't a very good book, even for Istar fans.
Dragonlance has some huge hits and misses with their peripheral books that branch off and build on the myth of the original 1st Story Level of Dragonlance. Read more
