Darkness and Light is the story of Sturm's search for his father, and Kitiara's early mercenary days. Five years before war engulfs Krynn, Sturm and Kitiara hitch a ride on a flying ship piloted by a band of professorial gnomes and find themselves crash-landed on, of all places, Lunitari. The red moon of neutrality is a desolate place of wonder and danger - of tree-people ruled by a mad monarch; giant ants formed of living crystal; and a mysterious brass dragon dwelling in an obelisk. Together, the honor-bound Solamnic Knight and the remarkable warrior woman must overcome magic and power - and love.
