The Black Wing

The Rise and Fall of an Evil Dragon

One score and six years before confronting the Companions in Xak Tsaroth, the black dragon Khisanth is awakened from a centuries-long sleep. The world she had known as a young wyrm is gone, irrevocably changed by the Cataclysm. Now fully grown, she has much to learn about being a dragon in a world where her kind are feared as the villians in stories told to children.

Her lessons are hard, learned at the hands of two achingly beautiful creatures who entrust her to save their race; an aging evil dragon who resents Khisanth’s innate power; and the only man she considers her equal, one she would honor by carrying him into battle . . . if only he were not her sworn enemy.

When a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Black Wing threatens the Dark Queen’s army, Khisanth realizes her true devoltion to evil and is rewarded with a destiny handed down by Takhisis herself.

The Black Wing is the first DRAGONLANCE novel to fully explore the dynamics of dragon life from the unique perspective of the most powerful and magical creatures on the world of Krynn.
