Dragons of the Highlord Skies

The Lost Chronicles, Volume 2

By: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrated by: Sandra Burr

The Companions are back, and so are their enemies in the second volume of the Lost Chronicles.

Kitiara discovers that a former lover, Tanis Half-elven, and his friends were responsible for the death of Highlord Verminaard. This revelation puts Kit in danger, for Emperor Ariakas hears of the connection and suspects Kit of having arranged the assassination. He orders his witch, the exotic Iolanthe, to spy on Kit, who clinches her own doom by becoming obsessed with finding Tanis, convincing Ariakas that she is indeed a traitor. But Kit is not one to take a sentence of death easily.

Kit's rival, Laurana, begins her own journey to destiny, as she travels to Icereach with Sturm, Flint, Tasslehoff, and three Solamnic knights led by Sir Derek Crownguard. The knights are on a quest for the fabled dragon orb that will be the salvation of Solamnia. What none of them know is that they are all being led into a deadly trap laid for them by the winternorn, the dark elf wizard Feal-Thas.

But it is Kitiara who faces the greatest challenge. To save herself, she vows to Takhisis that she will spend the night in Dargaard Keep, the dread castle of the death knight, Lord Soth. As she and Skie fly to challenge the death knight, Kit is well aware that in three hundred years, not one person who has ever faced Lord Soth has survived the ordeal.

Critic reviews

"Weis and Hickman have once again produced an entertaining high fantasy adventure." ( Publishers Weekly)

Awesome Story!

Loved it had great build up and is very satisfying! I would highly recommend this great series so far! Im onto the next book with haste!

Brilliant novel & not a surprise

May Dragonlance one day rise like the phoenix again, how i miss new DL novels.

Good story

The story was good. It fills in the blanks about the journey to Ice Reach and the first meeting between Kitiara and Soth.
The narration was alright EXCEPT for Tas. She absolutely ruined this beloved character. And I mean RUINED him. To those not familiar with Tas her narration of his voice reduces him to an annoying, obnoxious simpleton. Not the carefree, clever, tenderhearted Kender we have all grown to love throughout the Dragonlance series. So just try to keep the real Tas in your mind (and heart) when you listen to this book.

What a fascinating adventure!

Everytime I got in my car I had to turn it on! The narrator did very well and the book was awesome.

Finally! A Narrator Worthy of The Chronicles!

Her voices were just perfect for this volume that chronicles primarily the female characters.
It's only a shame that she doesn't have an equally talented co-reader to narrate the male voices in the other chronicles. Still, she does an excellent job of creating recognizable voices for the male And female characters, even the draconians and later the Hobgoblin Toade - which I found quite admirable, although I couldn't decide if the voice itself was difficult to perform, or if it was her own voice's talent highlighting the difficulty Draconians have with Human speech. Five stars all around!

excellent side story

it's a great addition to the over all lance story. it's great to hear more about Kit and the Solamnic Knights. you get to learn about lord Soth too and how he came into the war. overall a frickin great book. loved til the end. only annoying part is the narrators voice of Tasslehoff.

Great story and narrator did a better job

Narrator did a much better job character's voices sound more appropriate than what the last series did

Lovin this series!

Damn! Another book down, 1 more to go. It seems like these books are a little more graphic and dark than the original series, but also more detailed. 10/10 from this fan.

Poor Narration

All three of these books are great for fans of the Dragonlance Series, but the narration is horrible. I won't buy another book read by Sandra Burr.

Great Listen

Have no problems listening to this. enjoyed this vvery much. def recommend this among the whole line of this tale.
