In the third book of the Draconis Memoria series, the Ironship Trading Syndicate’s reliance on drake blood is threatened by a newly risen drake commander, forcing Blood‑blessed Claydon Torcreek, Syndicate agent Lizanne Lethridge, and captain Corrick Hilemore to unite their newfound powers to stop the looming destruction.

A century has passed since the gods fought and drove themselves to extinction. Now only their bones remain, promising great power to those brave enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo cross the land of Vigrið, fate follows in the footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman pursuing battle fame and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn. All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods.

# Discovered by Draconians! You are in the world of Krynn—the world of the bestselling **DragonLance** saga-fighting to defeat the dragon armies of the Dark Queen. A draconian stands about six feet away. The hideous half-man, half-dragon soldier of the Dark Queen has apparently stumbled onto you by accident, but it wastes no time recovering from its surprise. It roars toward you in a charge. Although unarmed, the creature is equipped with teeth enough to do considerable harm. The whole outpost lights up as the door to the blockhouse bursts open. The other draconians, obviously alerted by this one's roar of rage, race out to investigate. The first monster's teeth chomp into your left arm as you attempt to dodge away! With a savage swing, you slash your sword Quicksilver into the draconian's neck, and you feel the creature stiffen in death. Turning quickly, you meet the leading draconian of the group rushing toward you and drop it with a deadly cut, but three more of the creatures press you back, stabbing and slicing with a lethal collection of spears and swords! **Will you survive to beat the Dark Queen's minions?** Roll a die and add the result to your fighting skill score. If the total is 20 or more, turn to **55**. !fit is less, turn to **33**. Whatever the outcome, only your decisions, and the luck of the dice roll, can help you survive in the **Lords of Doom**.
