Vintage 1986 DragonLance Legends Trilogy Weis Hickman TSR Fantasy PB Lot 3
Vintage mass market paperback lot of the complete DragonLance Legends trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, set in the Dungeons & Dragons world of Krynn and continuing the saga begun in the original DragonLance Chronicles novels.
Series overview: the trilogy follows the mage Raistlin Majere, his warrior twin Caramon, the cleric Crysania, and the kender Tasslehoff as they confront gods, time travel, and the legacy of the Cataclysm. Across three volumes, the story moves from the streets of Palanthas to the Abyss itself as Raistlin seeks apotheosis and his companions struggle to stop the return of Takhisis, Queen of Darkness.
Volume 1 – Time of the Twins: Raistlin plots to challenge the Dark Queen by journeying back to the age of myth, while Caramon and Crysania are drawn into his schemes. Political intrigue, divine prophecy, and the first steps of a deadly plan frame the opening of the Legends sequence.
Volume 2 – War of the Twins: the story shifts to the ancient Dwarfgate War as Raistlin and Caramon arrive in the past amid besieged armies and crumbling alliances. The twins\' bond is tested against Raistlin\'s ambition, Caramon\'s despair, and the larger struggle for the fate of Krynn.
Volume 3 – Test of the Twins: Raistlin casts the spell that opens the Portal to the Abyss, forcing a final confrontation with Takhisis and with his brother. The concluding novel resolves the twins\' intertwined destinies and the larger question of whether Raistlin will become a god or be destroyed by his own choices.
Publication and design: all three books are English-language paperbacks from TSR, Inc., each credited as a first printing from 1986 (Time of the Twins February 1986; War of the Twins May 1986; Test of the Twins August 1986), printed in the United States of America and distributed to the book trade by Random House. Front covers feature full-color fantasy artwork framed by the DragonLance trade dress, with matching spine titling for the Legends line.

Notes: please review all photos for views of the front and back covers, spines, page edges, title and copyright pages, and sample interior text from each volume in this three-book DragonLance fantasy lot.
Condition: Covers on all three paperbacks show surface rubbing and handling wear with noticeable edge and corner wear, including small color-loss chips and nicks at the spine ends and outer corners. Spines have pronounced vertical reading creases and mild reading curves but retain clear DragonLance titling and remain securely attached. Page edges are deeply age-toned from tan to brown with a few small stains and handling smudges, and the text blocks display a slight overall wave when viewed from the top and bottom. Interior pages visible in the photos are uniformly tanned but fully legible and firmly bound with no writing or highlighting on the shown leaves.
