Two new Dungeons & Dragons novels are releasing in the coming months, starting off with Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd on May 13. Written by Delilah S. Dawson, author of the NYT bestseller Star Wars: Phasma, the tale follows five adventurers as they navigate the haunting realm of Barovia. Then, a few weeks later, The Fallbacks: Dealing with Dragons launches on July 29, continuing the story that started with the previous novel, Fallbacks: Bound for Ruin. Hardcover editions of both books are available to preorder now ahead of their releases, and preordering at Amazon makes you eligible for any price cuts between now and launch. You also won’t pay until your order ships.
Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft - Heir of Strahd (Hardcover)
$30 | Releases May 13
This hardcover novel spans 336 pages and tells the tale of five travelers, running the gamut from Rotrog, the orcish wizard, to Fielle, the human artificer. The group wakes up in a mysterious land with no recollection of how they got there--and before they can figure out what’s going on, a bizarre message arrives for them.
It’s from Strahd von Zarovich, who has invited the adventurers to his home at Castle Ravenloft. However, this isn’t a simple dinner party, as the castle proves to be haunted with all sorts of ghastly secrets. The five companions will need to work together and battle through its halls if they hope to make it out of Barovia alive.
Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks - Dealing with Dragons (Hardcover)
$30 | Releases July 29
Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd isn’t the only D&D novel to look forward to, as The Fallbacks - Dealing with Dragons arrives a few months later on July 29. It serves as a sequel to The Fallbacks: Bound for Ruin, picking up after the band of misfits has traveled through the Undermountain and defeated the powerful lich lurking within. Dealing with Dragons sends them off to a whole new realm, and the stakes are higher than ever. There’s plenty of time to read through the first installment ahead of its release, so consider giving it a look if you’re interested in checking out the sequel.
The Dragonlance Chronicles Hardcover Omnibus just released in February--spanning over 1,000 pages, it features three original novels and an all-new cover illustration.
