Good afternoon! I am searching for the author or title of a book i bought 10+ years ago. I'm almost certain it was in the Forgotten REalms. I thought it was tied to a series called the villains? Although that was not the title. Does this ring a bell? Black cover w/ a white faced, white haired man w/ somewhat scarred face?
Thanks for any help if I'm even remembering correctly? I'm getting old after all!!!

Re: Soth, I'd recommend scribes who haven't done so already, to read the RAVENLOFT novels featuring the Death Knight:- Knight of the Black Rose and Spectre of the Black Rose. |

I enjoyed Dragons of the Hourglass Mage, too.
And I'll agree with the others on Lord Soth: awesome villain! I know he wasn't the first death knight in D&D, but he is, to me, the very definition of a death knight. |

I lost interest in Raistlin long ago. I didn't bother reading Dragons of the Hourglass Mage. |

There are better novel-sources available for Verminaard anyway. The particular novel being discussed has many consistency problems, and isn't, on the whole, a worthwhile example.
I seem to remember a short story that was quite excellent.
And since were on DL.....what did you think of Dragons of the hourglass Mage?
Sorry, I didn't see this earlier.
Overall, I loved the book. It was the story about Raistlin's transformation that I've been waiting to read since the earliest snippets of his arrival at the Library in The Chronicles.
My only complaint... the book was entirely too short -- especially when compared to the earlier books in the trilogy. |

I too loved soth, he was a really strong character. I even followed him into the Ravenloft novels. |

Raistlin was my first (anti) hero of fantasy, and it was fitting that Weis and Hickman ended their DL run with a novel about him. To my mind he was killed off a little too quickly, so there was limited scope for any new adventures about him.
As for the book, I'm biased and love anything about Raistlin. |

Ditto. I got bored with Dragonlance long before that point. |

It was called Before the Mask (Dragonlance Saga, Villains Series, Volume 1). |

Of course I just found it. It was a Dragonlance series. I tried to delete this post but could not figure it out. Sorry for the waste of time here. |
