About Blades of the Tiger







The first book in a series set in an uncharted land within the Dragonlance world. Blades of the Tiger explores beyond the realms of Ansalon, the traditional setting for Dragonlance novels, and into the land of Taladas. No title has ever been set in this unexplored region on the other side of the world, allowing for an infinite variety of new characters and experiences within the context of Dragonlance.







The War of Souls is over. Takhisis is dead. On Ansalon, heroes and gods have banded together to save the world from destruction. A new peace, of sorts, has taken hold. But half a world away, on the continent of Taladas, the troubles are just beginning. Sorcery, long thought lost, has returned to the world. Disasters wrack the land, nations clash, dark forces stir in the aftermath of the Godless Night. On the grasslands of the Tamire, an ambitious lord unites the barbarian tribes, streaming south for plunder and bloody conquest….







Among the fortresses and cities of the Minotaur League, a victorious general returns to his family after years away….







In the shadows, an elven thief tracks a mysterious enemy that seeks a stature of eldritch magic….







One will live, one will die, and one will wish for death. For ancient powers are waking in Taladas.







Review







Welcome to another DragonLance Saga review episode. It is Kirinor, Yurthgreen the 27th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of Blades of the Tiger by Chris Pierson. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now!

This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.







The setting is after the return of the gods following the War of Souls on Ansalon. But we are on Taladas. The book is split between three people and their cultures. We are first introduced to Shedara, a female elf, Moon-Thief. She is on a job to collect a painting for her speaker, Princess Thalaniya, voice of the stars. It is a portrait of Silvanos, before the elven nation of Silvanesti was formed. It is in the home of Ruskal Eight-Fingers, a retired warrior. She is not the only one entering his home looking for art objects however.  A hooded figure or figures entered, slayed his dragon pet/guards and Minotaur bodyguard before cutting him down. Later we learn they stole a statue thought to be the soul of Maladar an-Desh, the Faceless one. an evil tyrannical ruler from before the cataclysm. She returns with the painting and is sent to learn more about the idol from some dwarves, but the faceless ones slaughtered their village as well.
