The gods have vanished, and magic wanes from Krynn. It is the Age of Mortals, but also the Age of Dragons, more massive and powerful than any seen before. They are devastating villages, enslaving people, and claiming to be the overlords of Ansalon. The War of the Lance was only a rehearsal, the War Against Chaos only a skirmish. The War of the Dragons is imminent. Goldmoon, last of the original companions, is not willing to give up, and searches for new heroes to challenge the overlords. One troubled man answers her call. The Dawning of a New Age introduces the next era of fantastical adventures in the worldwide best-selling Dragonlance® Saga

The two most powerful dragon overlords clash in a showdown for ultimate rule over Ansalon! Malystryx and Khellendros have long been in collision, but as the dragons grow in size and strength, so do their egos and their thirst for power. The Blue Dragon plots against Malys in a bid for dominance over the other dragon overlords and her fury at his betrayal is as massive and fiery as she. The heroes of a new age have their own scheming to do as it becomes clear that the power of the heart can help them battle against the dragons that have so completely devastated their homeland. But can strength of spirit—pure emotion and faith—ever prevail over raw power and size? Both the battle between evil dragon overlords and the fight for Good come to the fore as the first epic trilogy of the Fifth Age™ comes to a conclusion
