D&D General 'War Wizard' Is A New Dragonlance Novel From Weis & Hickman

First in a new trilogy.
From Penguin Random House, and authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, comes a new Dragonlance novel focused on the early friendship between the red-robed wizard Magius, and the famed Solamnic knight, Huma, two characters who have featured heavily in Dragonlance lore (and notably in Weis & Hickman's recent Dragonlance Destinies novel trilogy which featured some of the Heroes of the Lance traveling back in time to an earlier dragon war).

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.

"Classic DragonLance"

Will have to check this out.

(I seem to remember reading about Magius before - maybe Legend of Huma? All I seem to remember was an Earth Elemental that walks off a cliff and Magius is too distracted to notice and goes tumbling after...)

Magius was the wizard who owned/created Raistlin's staff, the staff of Magius. He was Huma's best friend. He also featured heavily in the recent Dragonlance trilogy (Dragons of Deceit, Dragons of Fate, Dragons of Eternity).

As I recall, his martyring was also the reason wizards were allowed to carry daggers for defense. But, it's been years since I've read those original books ... well, except Dragons of Autumn Twilight, recently listened to that on Audible.

Speaking of which, are the new books available as audio books?

They are on audible. That’s how I listened to them when they were released.
