Synopsis
Dragons of the Hourglass Mage follows the wizard Raistlin Majere as he travels to the city of Neraka, home to the Dark Queen Takhisis, ostensibly to offer his service to her cause while secretly pursuing his own path toward power. When a Dragon Orb appears within the city, Takhisis dispatches draconian soldiers to hunt down the wizard safeguarding it, unaware that Raistlin has also uncovered her scheme to seize control of all magic and is working to counter it from within. His half-sister Kitiara uth Matar operates in the city under the Dark Queen's own orders, secretly laying a trap tied to the Gods of Magic timed for an event known as the Night of the Eye, adding another layer of conflicting agendas to Raistlin's dangerous game inside enemy territory.
