In the realms of Dragonlance, the tale of one knight is legendary. The dark goddess Takhisis has unleashed evil on the world of Krynn, and only the Knights of Solamnia stand in her way. From amongst their ranks comes Huma, a man destined to be the greatest hero of this world.

Old friends become new foes in this follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Legend of Huma, starring renegade minotaur Kaz After the defeat of the Dark Queen and the death of Huma Dragonbane, Kaz the minotaur wanders throughout Krynn, telling the tale of the land’s most legendary hero. Already hunted by his own kinsmen, he discovers that he has also been declared an outlaw by the Knights of Solamnia, who once hailed him as a hero. But he has no idea why. With old comrades now chasing him as a dreaded enemy, Kaz searches for the truth. But when he hears rumors of evil incidents, he returns to warn the Knights of Solamnia—and is plunged into a dark waking nightmare. Magic and treachery assail him from every side, but it is the ghosts of the past that may prove the most dangerous threat.

The fourth volume in the Lost Histories series introduces readers to one of Krynn's most enduring and formidable races—the minotaurs Of all the peoples of Krynn, one race has remained strong in its pride and beliefs. The powerful minotaurs envision themselves as the children of destiny, the future masters of the world. Despite adversity, defeat, and enslavement, that belief has never wavered. If there is a foe capable of destroying the minotaurs, it is their own arrogance. As clan clashes against clan, the exiled champion Kaz must discover the terrible secret of the empire before he and his entire race suffer the disastrous consequences and implement their own demise.

Chaos's evil shadow sweeps over Krynn During the hottest summer in memory, minotaurs fight against the Knights of Takhisis, into whose hands their god Sargonnas has delivered them. In the midst of the conflict, the armies of Chaos plunge into the heart of Ansalon. Now the minotaur warrior Aryx must unite his people and their enemy, the knights, against the monstrous servants of Chaos. If he succeeds, the two sides may forge a bond that will change Krynn for all time. If he fails, then they will all perish. Richard Knaak, author of the New York Times best-selling The Legend of Huma, tells this thrilling tale of the minotaurs of Krynn in the time of the Chaos War.
