Dragonlance New Dragonlance Novels from Weis and Hickman in 2026

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman announced a new trilogy of Dragonlance books titled Dragonlance Legacies with the first novel titled War Wizard.

Tracy Hickman made the announcement on his Facebook page this past weekend:

Just announced at Gencon: Margaret Weis and I will be writing a new trilogy: Dragonlance Legacies. First book: War Wizard

Margaret Weis’s Facebook announcement had a bit more detail:

Tracy and I are pleased to announce Dragonlance Legacies. The story of the legendary wizard, Magius, and his friendship and adventures with the Solamnic knight, Huma. Published by Random House Worlds. 2026.

Weis also answered a few questions giving us a bit more information.

• Weis and Hickman are writing the books together
• When asked if this will conflict with pre-existing lore established in Richard A. Knaak’s The Legend of Huma, Weis said “This is our story.”
• When asked if Hasbro was involved, Weis said “Random House Worlds is the publisher”
• The omnibus edition of Chronicles will be accompanied by an omnibus edition of Legends as well in 2025.

So far, the only new book officially announced through any publishers is Dragonlance Chronicles: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Witner Night, Dragons of Spring Dawning omnibus edition coming in February 2025 (pre-order on Amazon through this affiliate link), but it may be several months until we get details on the Legends omnibus or the new trilogy.

5E had so much potential in the first 5 or so years, then around the turn of the decade the course was altered and its kind of been a crap show ever since. The newer Destiny trilogy didn't really interest me, after I learned about the lawsuits and the extreme amount of meddling WotC did in the story/world, but a free reign exploring of Huma, Magius, and Kaz would have my interest. I hope Hasbro has almost zero involvement in this trilogy, just let W&H do their thing.

Is the latest Dragonlance Triology already finished?

Yes, the Dragonlance Destinies trilogy is finished. Just got my copy of book 3.

I miss the 3E-era Age of Mortals novels. They were well coordinated and took the setting forward.

I don’t, the whole age of mortals did not sit well with me, and at a wider scope it killed DL, well done TSR

Did you read any of these novels, though? Many of them were very well written and let other authors really shine.

Interesting as I’ve enjoyed the first 2 of the recent DragonLance novels and listening to the 3rd now on audible.

I did read them, they were ok, doesn’t change how I feel about what came after the first two trilogies

They were published in 2000-2002 and have the WotC logo on the spine..

the decision to start DL over with a new age happened under TSR and was done in one book (Dragons of Summer Flame), not a trilogy. The trilogies came later and the damage was already done by then

Dragons of Summer Flame was driven by Weis & Hickman--the only major involvement TSR had, as I understand it, was limiting it to the 'one book to finish up the Chronicles cycle' which they had contracted for instead of the 'trilogy with game support and spinoff novels' W&H wanted. The actual content came from the authors; I've never heard anything about TSR setting or meddling with that plot.

Now, after presales were strong, TSR management gave the fans of the setting in the Games department permission to relaunch the cancelled Dragonlance game line, but with some restrictions--card-based, not AD&D-derived, set post-DoSF, and featuring "really big, mean dragons."
