The beginning of an adventure that will shake the world of Eberron! A war hero, his mind broken by the wonders he witnessed on his last mission for his nation, has spent years in the deepest, darkest prison in all the world. Wallowing in despair and ever on the verge of madness, he is caught by surprise when a band of strangers breaks him out. But his rescuers don''t exactly have his best interests at heart. The magic relic that broke his once-brilliant mind may be the key to stopping worldwide destruction--and whether he lives or dies really doesn''t concern them.From the Paperback edition.

A heroic battle to uphold the balance of Eberron(R) Gaven has fulfilled part of the prophecy and become the Storm Dragon. Now he seeks the Draconic Prophecy at its source in Argonessen, the dragon nation--but as he travels toward that ancient continent, Gaven may discover more than he suspected. Meanwhile, Aundairian loyalists--assisted by a sinister dragon cabal--are assembling the Dragon Forge: an eldritch machine designed to harness the power of a Siberys dragonmark and amplify it. In this case, to create a devastating storm of hail and acid rain to go before Aundair''s armies as they march into the Eldeen Reaches. And they know just the dragonmarked to use...From the Paperback edition.

An epic series that fans of the Eberron(R) world will love. The Five Nations of Khorvaire stand on the brink of war. Gaven--exile, outlaw, and prophesied Storm Dragon--may be the one person able to stop it. But he can''t remember who he is. Wounded, tormented, and hovering on the brink of madness, Gaven''s friends--and even a few enemies--have to save him before it''s too late. The Eberron world''s first hardcover trilogy, James Wyatt''s The Draconic Prophecies introduced readers to new lands and new cultures and brought about political changes to the hit setting. It tells the story of a once-proud hero fallen to disgrace and madness, who must learn to wield extraordinary powers to save those he loves, and to keep the world from sliding back into decades of warfare.From the Hardcover edition.

Janik barely survived his last expedition to the dark continent of Xen''drik. But when he finds himself embroiled in a plot involving the Emerald Claw, the Church of the Silver Flame, and lost wonders of Xen''drik, his one hope at redemption is to return and face the horrors that once almost destroyed him.From the Paperback edition.

Following directly in the wake of The Temple of Yellow Skulls, our heroes face the totality of the destructive and pestilent forces presented by the Abyssal Plague. The disease of the liquid crystal Voidharrow spreads throughout the land, transforming unsuspecting creatures into plague demons. Shara, Uldane, and the unlikely drow hero Valmaggar join forces with Tempest and Rohgar from The Mark Of Nerath, and together they set out in search of the green dragon Vestapalk, or the creature Vestapalk has become--the patient zero of this abyssal plague.Meanwhile, Albanon and the mysterious cleric Kri Redshal--the last remaining member of the Order of Vigilance, an order dedicated to guarding the Voidharrow--go in search of answers to the disease that sweeps the land.  While their search takes them deep into the heart of the darkness that is enveloping the land, the answers they find are truly in need of new questions.  As they become aware of the true scale of the tragedy at hand, they see the forces behind them are more powerful than they had ever dreamed, and perhaps more seductive.From the Paperback edition.

For millennia, the dragons have watched the great events of the world unfold, nurturing and destroying entire nations when necessary, always guided by the Draconic Prophecy. Now Eberron''s fragile peace is crumbling. Armies gather, and for the first time in generations, the dragons rise to war. At the center of it all, one man--the prophesied Storm Dragon--must learn to wield his extraordinary powers not only to save those he loves, but to keep the world from sliding into the chaos of never-ending war.This omnibus edition features a brand-new short story, "Learning to Dream"!"Every James Wyatt novel I read is a delight - may there be many, many more!"-Ed GreenwoodAuthor and creator of Forgotten Realms
