In the ancient and mystical land of Krynn, the death of the ruling Kingpriest ignites a fierce and bloody rivalry between pretenders and true believers, good and evil, struggling for power and control of the throne. Original.

A Threat to the Glory of Istar. Twenty years have passed since Beldinas the Kingpriest assumed the throne. His is a realm of unsurpassed grandeur and wealth, a testament to the mightiest age of the empire of Istar. But evil exists in this great realm, threatening the peace and sanctity of the province. Beldinas must turn to his most loyal lieutenant, Cathan, for help. Following Cathan's lead, the Knights of the Divine Hammer strive to extinguish a foul sorcery that will stop at nothing to serve its own dark ends.

As Beldinas, the Kingpriest of Istar, approaches victory in his long war against the forces of evil, his long-lost hero, Cathan Twice-Born, a one-time Kingpriest's champion, returns, seeking the meaning of a fateful dark vision of a burning hammer. Original.
