The Dark Queen

"In a vision from her prison in the Abyss, the dark goddess Takhisis watches Fordus Firesoul, leader of a ragged band of desert rebels, assault the city of Istar and threaten her plans to reenter the world of Krynn. But the goddess is known for having her own way. How can a mute slave, an ancient druid, and a cursed bard and her magical hawk - aided by a band of strange, gem-encrusted elves - resist the magic of Takhisis and withstand her fury? ... The Villians Series explores the corrupted origins of the malevolent minions of Takhisis, Queen of Darkness."--page 4 of cover.
