Dragons of the Autumn Twilight - Margaret Weis [211]
and colors,
By the harped blessing of the holy winds,
The Knights carried Huma, they carried the Dragonlance
To the grove in the lap of the Mountain.
When they returned to the grove in pilgrimage, in homage,
The Lance, the armor, the Dragonbane himself
Had vanished to the day’s eye.
But the night of the full moons red and silver
Shines down on the hills, on the forms of a man
and a woman
Shimmering steel and silver, silver and steel,
Above the village, over the thatched and nurturing shires.
About the Authors
Margaret Weis
A decade and a half after her first collaboration with Tracy Hickman. Margaret Weis is the author of ten DRAGONLANCE® novels, the four-volume galactic fantasy Star of the Guardian, co-author with her husband Don Perrin of The Doom Brigade, Knights of the Black Earth, Robot Blues and Hung Out. She and Perrin are also the authors of Brothers in Arms, the sequel to Weis’s The Soulforge. Currently she is hard at work, with Tracy Hickman, on a new DRAGONLANCE trilogy called The War of Souls. She lives happily in a converted barn in southern Wisconsin with an assortment of dogs and cats and far, far too many books.
Tracy Hickman
In 1983, when Tracy Hickman was driving across country to start a new job at TSR as a game designer, he conceived of a world in which dragons would play a big part. That world became the DRAGONLANCE campaign setting and helped launch Hickman’s career as a major fantasy author. He has also written, in collaboration with Margaret Weis, the Darksword series and the Death Gate Cycle, is the designer of the game setting Starshield, and is the author of The Immortals. In his spare time, not that he has much, he lives in Utah with his wife, two daughters, and two sons.
