About Margaret Weis

Initially published in 1996, this was to mark the first in off-shoot series of novels from the infamous Dragonlance franchise, which were to go by the name of ‘The Chaos War’ series. Establishing a whole new line, they were to produce a different set of arcs for the readers to get involved in. Utilizing a somewhat different tone, it still uses a lot of the same rules of the fantasy genre that were laid out beforehand, as this is what her readers have come to expect over the years with her now successful formula. Beginning with a group who call themselves ‘The First Dragonarmy Engineering Regiment’, it charts their efforts to retrieve the first ever female Draconians set-up on Krynn following the ‘War of the Lance’. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Dragonlance: The Second Generation Books series, Margaret Weis has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
