Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:The first book in the Dark Disciple series: With the War of Souls now over, Mina aids the seductive God of Death in his quest for power
Standing at a tomb where she has buried her Dark Queen, warrior-woman Mina believes her life is at an end. Her belief is confirmed when she sees Chemosh, God of Death, come to claim her. But Chemosh does not want Mina's deathâ??he wants her faith.
Mina is immediately attracted to the handsome and darkly charming god, who has ambitious plans to become the ruler of the Pantheon of Evil. She joins his cause and begins to entice followers to do the sameâ??followers who are young, strong, and soon devoted to their god's designs. Her commitment endears her to Chemosh, stirring up feelings he never thought he'd have for a mortal woman.
Meanwhile, the brother of a monk of Majere falls victim to Mina's seduction and becomes one of the vampiric followers of Chemosh. Appalled by the crimes his brother commits, the monk abandons his faith and pledges himself to the evil goddess of the sea, Zeboim, who has her own reasons for wanting to thwart the God of Death. Accompanied by a kender who can talk to the dead, the monk starts upon a dark path to try to find a way to stop Mina and her disc

Do not read this book. My apprehensions have been confirmed. This book is, sadly, inappropriate. There are exteme amounts of sexual scenes, mostly commited by Mina and her new 'god', Chemosh. I hadn't even got halfway through when I had to put it down. This book is a severe letdown in comparison with the other Dragonlance books I have on my shelf. I will repeat myself- do not read this book. It is not worth the dissapointment. ( )

Following on from the War of the Souls, Amber and Ashes followed Mina in to a new game of chess, where the Gods are manoeuvring mortals for their own dastardly plans. All other plot lines feature new characters which are well fleshed out and have interesting arcs, with enough nods to the previous novels to keep fans nodding in appreciation. Weis's standalone writing is fine, featuring a less levity than her previous work with Hickman, which creates a darker and tighter novel. An entertaining page-turner, Amber and Ashes is solid start to a new trilogy and is a worthy addition to this legendary series. ( )

The War of Souls is over, Takhisis is dead. And Mina? She became the follower of another god. An evil god who wants to rule entire world (suprise, suprise...). The sequel to the War of Souls trilogy maybe not Weis' best story but it's a must for the lovers of Krynn. ( )

The temple dedicated to his worship was located below the castle's walls and ramparts, below the towers and spires, below the great hall with its moldering tapestries, below even the dungeons.
