About this item:

The second volume in the Sovereign Stone trilogy, a gripping fantasy series filled with unique characters, from the authors of the bestselling DRAGONLANCE books

Generations after Vinnengael was laid to waste at the hands of Dagnarus, Gustav, the last human Dominion Lord, finally achieves his lifelong quest when he discovers the lost portion of the Sovereign Stone. Badly injured in a battle with one of Dagnarus's fearsome, otherworldly servants, Gustav entrusts the stone to young Bashae, without revealing its significance.

Bashae must make the long and dangerous journey to the Elven lands and deliver the jewel to a trusted friend of Gustav's, who will ensure it reaches the altar built for it in New Vinnengael. At all costs, the Stone must stay out of Dagnarus's hands. But hearing that it is in the possession of his enemies, Dagnarus unleashes war, hoping to seize the Stone in the conflict.

T.K.R. · 23 September 2012

Two hundred years after the fall of Vinnengael, and the loss of the human's portion of the Sovereign Stone, something is stirring again. The last human Dominion Lord, Gustav, is nearing the end of his quest; strange hostile warriors are being reported; political stirrings between formerly friendly nations are leading to a buildup of war forces. And could Dagnarus really be back, after all this time?The reader is torn in all directions in this story; with Wolfram and Ranessa going in one direction, the Trevinici Jessan, the pecwae Bashae and the Grandmother and their various companions going in another, and Raven ending up unwillingly in the middle of the enemy camp. The machinations of Dagnarus, the Vrykyl, and the elves, add to the momentum that builds up to a crescendo throughout the book. The setup for the third and final instalment in the trilogy is great.I really enjoyed this book, as I did the first book in the trilogy, and look forward immensely to revisiting the end of the series in the third book, Journey into the Void.

Great Read. Couldn't put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weis and Hickman do it again.

Weis and Hickman do it again.As with Journey into the void, this is a good sequel and keeps the reader's mind alert. Somewhat dragged out at times, but who would want to read a book that would be over in a couple of pages. Weis and Hickman excel in this genre but their Dragonlance Chronicles as by far their best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting must read for fantasy readers, one for the collection

J.C. · 3 September 2003

The second episode in the Sovereign Stone trilology delivers action and adventure by the bucketful, but also contains a great and well-written story. It's been two hundred years since the transformation of Prince Dagnarus into The Lord of the Void, and the creation of the Vrykyl. The human portion of the Sovereign Stone has been lost, and the power of the human Dominion Lords is weakening. Gustav, the Whoreson knight, is nearing the end of his life, one which he has devoted to seeking out the Sovereign Stone. His perserverance pays off, but before he can return the stone to the Dominion Council, he battles a Vrykyl, which costs him his life. Before he passes away, he entrusts the stone to Jassan, a young Trevinci warrior and Bashae, a pecwae. Together they must journey to New Vinnengael to deliver the stone safely.But this isn't the only story going on in the book. We also follow Raven, Jessan's uncle, as he is taken prisoner by the ferocious taan, huge desert creatures in the employ of Dagnarus. We meet Damra, an elven Dominion Lord, and her efforts to escape and overcome the political machinations of the elven rulers.The second book in the trilology doesn't disappoint, delivering creat characters, both good and evil, along with some humour and action. Bring on the third, I can't wait to see how this one ends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sequel to Well of Darkness

l. · 4 August 2001

Set 200 years in the future from where the first book leaves off, we meet new characters and some old, in a gripping story that is hard to put down. I was very pleased with this volume, it's every bit as good as the first if not better. The story follows the adventures of many different characters, such as Jessan, the Trevinici warrior and Bashae his Pecwae friend, Damra the Elven Domionion Lord and Wolfram the dwarf. I won't give away the story, but it's a must read, especially if you read Well of Darkness. I can't wait until volume 3 comes out. Buy it now, it's definately worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, if slightly flawed

M.M. · 28 July 2002

Having read the first book in the series, "Well of Darkness," I was left champing at the bit to find out the next stage in the dark chronicles of Dagnarus. The second novel in the trilogy did not disappoint. The characters were well drawn out and the whole story sucked me in from beginning to end. The many different narrative strands, far more mature and dark than anything else I have read in recent times, never bored me and it was refreshing to find a book in which political machinations played an important, but not overwhelming, role in the storyline.The only flaw (if one can call it that) comes at the climax. I will not spoil it for anyone, but whilst the ending does leave you gasping for more, you cannot help but see it coming.However, do not let this put you off reading what is one of the best fantasy series around today. If the first two book are anything to go by, the final chapter, "Journey into the Void," should be mindblowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought they couldn't get any better.......

I'll keep it brief. Read this book! It is the best read I've had since the preceeding one in this trilogy, "Well of Darkness". The original idea of telling a story based on the villains' perspective really impressed me. Despite being unable to 'cheer the protagonists on', the depth and complexity of their characters allowed me to feel sympathetic towards them. I can't wait to find out how it all ends!

great book

favorite authors, great book.

Excellent 2nd Volume

C. · 21 July 2017

Sometimes middle volumes in a trilogy are lacking in exception because its already known there is yet another part to come....this defies that logic amd provides a good foundation for a great ending!
