Minotaur Wars

From the back cover: The War of Souls has come to Krynn and touched every land, every race. In the minotaur empire, a terrible coup, the Night of Blood, elevates General Hotak to power—an unprecedented break with honorable minotaur tradition. With the aid of his ruthless mate, the High Priestess Nephera, and her growing Cult of the Dead, Hotak's loyalists lay waste to the old ways and plan the rebirth and expansion of the empire.

But Hotak has not managed to slay all of his enemies. Far away, in a grim slave colony, an obscure survivor of the ruling clan rises up to plot rebellion.

The Minotaur Wars are about to begin.
