An ancient ogre empire threatens cataclysm for all in this new Dragonlance (R) trilogy! With a dire enemy now seated on the throne of the minotaur empire, the one-handed half-breed ogre Golgren returns to his own realm on the mainland and uses brutal means to consolidate his power and forge unlikely alliances. He must cope with an elite band of sorcerers, whose magical tactics are not easily thwarted. These Ogre Titans—led by their inner circle, the Black Talon—emerge as his greatest rivals. Golgren's obsession to resurrect the glorious past of the ogre race will engulf humans and elves, but may ultimately be decided by a deadly, capricious god.

After salvaging victory over an army of undead, Golgren has cemented his leadership of the ogre race. Now he must gain the Fire Rose. The Ogre Titans have a new leader, one who is determined to succeed in the quest for a powerful magical artifact that legend says was crafted by the god of fire and alchemy. Though their victory is not certain, their devotion is unquestioned. But they are not the only players in this game of power and destiny. Creatures evil and strange seek the Fire Rose's mastery over creation itself.

A climactic battle of magic and steel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Legend of Huma! The Titans have gained the Fire Rose and seized the ogre realms from the Grand Khan Golgren. With the powerful artifact created by the god, Sirrion, they have literally recreated the capital, Garantha, and they intend to remold the people next. Although the Titans believe Golgren is dead, the half-breed survives. With few he can trust and facing magic, treachery, and distrustful gods, Golgren must find the answer in his own past if he has any hope of overcoming the Titans and the powers of the Fire Rose. In doing so, however, he risks becoming a pawn of the gargoyle king.
