About
Dragons of Summer Flame is a fantasy novel by the American writers Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, published in 1995. Its events follow the Chaos War in the Dragonlance world.
After a battle, the Nightlord Steel Brightblade finds Palin Majere, the nephew of the mage Raistlin, and allows him to take the bodies of his two brothers home to their parents, Caramon and Tika. Elsewhere, knights of Takhisis visit an island where the hidden race called the Irda live, disguised by an illusion as primitive humans, and leave without finding them. The encounter frightens the Irda badly enough that they decide to break open a magical item known as the Graygem of Gargath.
The Irda do not know that the Graygem holds the entity known as Chaos inside it, and that opening it sets the Chaos War in motion among the gods and the dragons. Among the Irda is Usha, an orphaned human girl the Irda have raised as one of their own, and what happens to her is part of what the novel follows.
