Announced back in March, War Wizard is the latest Dragonance novel from creators Weis and Hickman, due for release on August 4th.
Polygon has a short excerpt from the novel, featuring the classic characters--the Solamnic Knight Huma and the red-robed mage Magius--along with another called Greta, preparing to be attacked by ogres.
Dragonlance: War Wizard releases on August 4th, 2026 as a 352-page hardcover, and forms the first in a new trilogy set in the world of Krynn.
The first volume of a new epic trilogy set in the world of Krynn, written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, the creators of Dragonlance.
Vinus Solamnus wrote: The practice of magic is secretive, inherently deceitful, and dishonorable. Those who practice magic are forbidden to enter the knighthood, nor should they be connected to the knighthood in any way.
The boy with a rare gift for magic was born in Solamnia, a nation that despised and distrusted mages. His father tried to beat the magic out of him. The knights threatened him with imprisonment and exile. He endured tragedy and heartbreak. Yet he persisted with his magic, for the sake of the magic.
One friend stood by him when others persecuted him, a young man who was studying for the knighthood. No one could understand this unlikely friendship.
The knight was Huma. The boy took the name, Magius. The two would one day become famous in Solamnic history, fighting together to defeat the Queen of Darkness.
But that future is distant, far down the River of Time.
For now, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that would one day change the world.
The cover art is by Stephen Youll, and according to Margaret Weis features the wizard Magius and his friend the knight Huma confronting an Ogre and a mercenary featured in the story.
