. Draconians stumble into a mysterious village of elves in
Wayward Children.
Finding the Faith is a high-adventure tale of the elf maid,
Laurana, and her search for the famed dragon orb in Icewall Castle. A
young Tanis and his friend, Flint the dwarf, learn about love that
redeems and love that kills in Harvests.
Finally, in the novella, The Legacy, a young mage must face the
fact that his evil uncle-the powerful wizard, Raistlin - may be trying
to escape eternal torment by stealing his nephew's soul!

HERE ON THE PLAINS WHERE THE WIND EMBRACES
LIGHT AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT,
WHERE THE WIND IS THE VOICE
OF THE GODS COME DOWN,
THE RUMOR OF SONG BEFORE SINGING BEGINS,
HERE THE PEOPLE UNDER THE WINDS
ARE WANDERING EVER TOWARDS HOME,
FOREVER IN MOVEMENT AN OLD MAN IS SINGING
THE SONG OF AN ABSENT COUNTRY,
BEAUTIFUL, HEARTLESS AS SUNLIGHT,
COLD AS IMAGINED WINDS
BEHIND THE EYE OF THE RAIN,
AND WIDE BEFORE US, MY SONS AND FATHERS,
THE SONG OF THE COUNTRY CENTERS AND SWOOPS
LIKE A HAWK IN A SLEEPING LAND,
BORNE UPON HUNGER AND THERMALS,
SINGING FOREVER, SINGING:
It was not always
after the wars, it was
a time once when fire
did not rise on its own
out of the dead grass,
a time of waters
and of vanishing light,
when we did not imagine
new country arising
out of the long mirage
of countries remembered
from mother to daughter
in a ruinous dream
that would not have let this happen,
nor did the dance of the moons,
the opened hearts of hawks,
nor did the wind itself
foresee the fires
hot as shrew's blood
in the veins of the land
consuming our dream
while we slept in our journeys,
while these things came to pass
