Books like War of the Twins by Margaret Weis

Bilbo Baggins, a humble hobbit, embarks on an unexpected adventure with a dwarf company to recover dragon‑guarded treasure, facing trolls, goblins, elves, a giant spider, and the fearsome dragon Smaug.

In the world of Krynn, dragons return and threaten the land; heroes—knights, barbarians, elves, dwarves, and mages—must rally the people with the legendary dragonlances to defeat the Queen of Darkness, Takhisis, before spring wanes.

In Margaret Weis’s dragon‑filled world of Krynn, a diverse group of heroes quests for a Dragon Orb and the legendary Dragonlance to restore hope amid war and winter’s wrath.

When Raistlin and Caramon cast powerful spells together, a portal opens that throws them into a bewildering clash of time and reality.

The children of heroes. A fabulous quest to retrieve the Graystone Gem. The legend of Raistlin’s daughter. Many years ago, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman told the story of how the Companions of the Lance fought to save the world from sliding into darkness, fought to restore the fragile balance of good and evil. The war was won. Peace came to Krynn. The Companions of the Lance became heroes. The river of time flowed on. The heroes dreamed of finding safe harbor on that swift-running river. But the balance of eternal power is ever shifting, ever changing. The Queen of Darkness was defeated, not destroyed. Her powers are strong; people are weak. They forget the lessons of the past or close their eyes to them. The river’s waters grow more turbulent, dangerous. It its not, however, the Heroes of the Lance who will be forced to plunge into the raging river of coming war. Their time is past. Their stories are told. It is for them now to hand the future to those younger, stronger. It is time to pass the sword—or the staff—to those who will become the Heroes of the Second Generation. Or to those who will bring about its doom.

The Chronicles retold--from evil's point of view.The story starts in Neraka, WHERE Kitiara uth Matar and Emperor Ariakas hatch a plan to retrieve a dragon orb and thereby destroy Solamnia and the Companions in one fell swoop. But the guardian of the dragon orb, Highlord Feal-Thas, disagrees with this plan. Kitiara must go to Ice Wall to force him to accept Ariakas' will, but her journey does not end there. Thrown out of favor, she conceives a daring plan to enlist the aid of the most feared beings on Krynn--Lord Soth and the Dark Queen. Meanwhile, Laurana and the Companions retrieve the dragon orb and take it back to Solamnia--not knowing that they bring their allies' doom with them.The second volume of a new trilogy from celebrated authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, The Lost Chronicles details the famed War of the Lance from the perspective of the evil that menaces Krynn. The books are written in such a way that they will be marvelous complements to the original Chronicles, while at the same time accessible and exciting to new readers.From the Paperback edition.
