Legends of the Dragonrealm, Vol. III

“Full of energy. … It’s easy to see why Richard has enjoyed so much success!” —R. A. Salvatore

Relive the magic of Richard A. Knaak’s outstanding
Legends of the Dragonrealm series with this action-packed omnibus
featuring two classic novels …

THE CRYSTAL DRAGON

Sinister dreams haunt the wizard Cabe Bedlam, leading both him and Darkhorse to the desolate peninsula of Legar. Here, a desperate band of wolf raiders, their empire in ruins, have discovered the resting place and sorcerous artifacts of the inhuman Quel. Now Cabe, Darkhorse, and the Gryphon are trapped between two hellish hordes, and to defeat them, Cabe must become the willing pawn of the oldest, most enigmatic drake of all … the Crystal Dragon.

THE DRAGON CROWN

Heir to the dragon emperor’s throne, the young, shape-shifting drake Kyl is the focus of many who seek to control the realm’s destiny. Cabe Bedlam, most of all, hopes that this new emperor will be the signal for peace among drakes and men, but he knows that Kyl might prove to be the spark that drives the land to war. In order to ensure Kyl’s survival, Cabe will have to confront a nightmarish foe from his distant past, one who can strike at him even within the wizard’s own sanctum.

… plus three original novellas— Past Dance, Storm Lord, and The Still Lands—appearing in print for the first time!
