Raistlin casts the magical spell that has cost him so much. For him, the Portal opens. . . .
But at the same instant, his twin brother, Caramon, operates the magical time-traveling device. The fields of magic shift and collide. Caramon and the kender Tasslehoff are flung into an unexpected time and place where they make a horrifying discovery.
And Raistlin enters the Abyss, prepared to face his most deadly challenge--Takhisis, Queen of Darkness.
