Once merely creatures of legend, the dragons have returned - but with their arrival comes the departure of the old gods - and all healing magic. Meet Sturm the Solamnic knight, Tanis Half-Elf, Tasslehoff Burrfoot the irrepressible Kender, Flint the Dwarf, Caramon the warrior and his twin brother, Raistlin the red-robed mage - former comrades together again after five years apart, and looking for adventure. They find it when they see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager. Wondering if it's a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all, they investigate and swiftly find themselves in deep trouble. The Seekers, a new religious order, wants the artefact for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and win the continent of Ansalon. Now these old comrades in arms must fight again to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness...
