Darkness and Light — Paul B. Thompson; Tonya Cook

BEFORE THE DARKNESS . . .
Sturm Brightblade and Kitiara Uth Matar.

Darkness and Light is the story of Sturm's search for his father and Kitiara's years of wanderlust. Five years before war engulfs Krynn, Sturm and Kitiara hitch a ride on a flying ship piloted by a band of professorial gnomes and find themselves crash-landed on, of all places, Lunitari.

The red moon of neutrality is a desolate place of wonder and danger--of tree-people ruled by a mad monarch; giant ants formed of living crystal; and a mysterious brass dragon dwelling in an obelisk. Together, the honor-bound Solamnic Knight and the remarkable warrior-woman must overcome magic and power . . . and love.
