Dragonlance: Classics Series by John Maddox Roberts, Nancy Varian Berberick, Richard A. Knaak

When the Lord of Tarsis finds himself with a politically volatile murder on his hands, he turns to the three most expendable inhabitants of the city for a solution.

A talent for magic runs like fire through the blood of Dalamar Argent. Yet he is only a servant in the house of an elvish lord, not worthy of the High Art of Sorcery and denied all but the most grudging teaching. As war simmers on the borders of Silvanesti, Dalamar will find a way to learn his art. His quest will take him along dark paths toward an awesome destiny.

Flying citadels bring unbridled power and threaten to destroy all of Krynn. A lone commander sets into motion a pact with a dark mage who has devised the ultimate fortress, imbued with power that has never been witnessed.

Kidnapped by a ragtag gang of outlaws, an elven princess patiently waits for her husband's rescue, until she falls in love with the leader of her captors, a love that results in the birth of one of Krynn's greatest heroes, Tanis Half-Elven, Hero of the Lance. Original.
