Маргарет Уэйс: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

Creatures of legend, the dragons have returned to Krynn. Now, the darkness of war threatens to engulf the land. Then hope appears — a blue crystal staff in the hands of a beautiful bar barian woman. The promise of this hope forces a group of long-time friends into the unlikely roles of heroes: Tanis Half-Elven, their leader, a skilled warrior who detests fighting and is tormented by love for two women, Sturm Brightblade, Knight of Solamnia, driven to restore the honor of the knighthood, Raistlin Majere, the powerful and unsettling magic-user, whose hourglass-shaped eyes conceal dark mysteries, Caramon, Raistlin s twin, a genial giant both loved and feared by his brother, Flint Fireforge, the gruff old dwarven fighter, almost a father to them all, and Tasselhoff Burrfoot, a kender, the nuisance race of Krynn, immune to fear and followed by trouble wherever he goes.
