R.D. Henham
1 universe Last reviewed 2026-08-06
R.D. Henham is a pen name used within the Dragonlance publishing line, presented in-universe as a 'Scribe in the Great Library of Palanthas.' Under this name, the author wrote The Dragon Codices, a seven-book young adult series published by Wizards of the Coast: Red Dragon Codex, Bronze Dragon Codex, Black Dragon Codex, Brass Dragon Codex, Green Dragon Codex, Silver Dragon Codex, and Gold Dragon Codex. Each volume centers on a different type of dragon from the world of Krynn and its relationship with human or other characters, exploring how dragons, like people, can surprise readers by defying simple categories of good and evil. The series was marketed toward younger readers as an entry point into the wider Dragonlance setting, following the established New Adventures approach of pairing accessible, character-driven stories with the franchise's established lore. While the true identity behind the Henham pseudonym is not disclosed on Dragonlance reference sites, the Dragon Codices remain a distinct and complete contribution to the franchise's young adult fiction.
