Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman to Publish a New Series Based on Classic Dragonlance
Wilmington, NC -- January 25, 2021 -- Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are pleased to
announce a multi-year licensing agreement with Wizards of the Coast to produce a new, three
book series of Classic Dragonlance novels.
The new trilogy will return fans to the most beloved characters from the original novels along
with introducing a new strong protagonist. The books will be published by Del Rey Books, an
imprint of Penguin Random House. Although a publishing date has not been formally set,
they anticipate announcing when the first book will be released later this year.
"We couldn't be happier to be returning to the world we love," says Margaret Weis.
"Dragonlance is what brought Tracy and I together so many years ago. We're thrilled to be able
to do this for the existing lovers of Krynn while bringing our beloved characters to a new generation
of readers."
The first Classic Dragonlance novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, was written by Weis and
Hickman and published in 1984. Since hat time, more than 190 novels have been published in
the setting. Weis and Hickman have collaborated on numerous series over the last 30 years
including projects set within the world of Classic Dragonlance and outside of it. Two notable
series are The Death Gate Cycle and The Darksword Series, both published by Penguin
Random House.
"We credit the fans of Dragonlance for making this journey possible," says Tracy Hickman. "We
wrote this series out of our thanks for them for this amazing life-long journey... and from our wish
that they join us one more on the road to Solace."
The license for the series was secured by Weis & Hickman in 2018. Their recent dispute with
Wizards of the Coast was resolved a the end of 2020, with all parties pleased to have come to
agreement on how to best move forward with the trilogy. All are focused on producing the best
series possible and will not comment on the past dispute other than to say it has been resolved.
