Dragonlance Fantasy Paperback Set — Lost Legends Volumes I–II (1997) — J. Robert King & Douglas Niles | Vinas Solamnus, Fistandantilus Reborn, Fantasy Adventure

A 2-book Dragonlance Lost Legends paperback set featuring Vinas Solamnus by J. Robert King and Fistandantilus Reborn by Douglas Niles.

These 1997 tie-in fantasy novels explore two major figures from Krynn lore: Vinas Solamnus, founder of the Knights of Solamnia, and the dark legacy of the wizard Fistandantilus.

For Dragonlance readers, this pair works especially well as a set because it offers two different corners of the world—one grounded in knightly origin story, the other in magical intrigue and danger.

About the Authors 

J. Robert King wrote Vinas Solamnus, the first book in the Lost Legends sequence, centered on the early life of the future founder of the Knights of Solamnia. Douglas Niles wrote Fistandantilus Reborn, the second volume, following the shadow of one of Krynn’s most feared magical names.

A nice choice for Dragonlance readers who enjoy filling in the world’s deeper history one paperback at a time.
