Product Description
Children of Destiny . . .

Throughout the time of Krynn, one race has remained strong in its pride and beliefs. The minotaurs envision themselves as the children of destiny, the future masters of the world. Despite adversity, defeat, and enslavement, that belief has never wavered.

If there is a foe capable of destroying the minotaurs, it is their own arrogance. Here is told the tale of clan against clan, and of how the exiled champion Kaz must discover the terrible secret of the empire before he and his entire race suffer the disastrous consequences.

Land of the Minotaurs

The Lost Histories Series probes the historical roots and epic struggles of the heretofore little-known peoples of Krynn. Author Richard A. Knaak explores the land and history of the horned race of minotaurs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid story, but not a history of the minotaurs, January 20, 2004

By	Russell P. Horton (Stoughton, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to read a history of the minotaur race in Krynn, this book will disappoint you. If you want to read a solid story about Kaz the Minotaur, set after his role in the Dragon War, you'll be pleased by this book.

In a series titled "Lost Histories," one might expect to find out about the origins, the differences among, and...well...the history of the minotaurs. But this book at best hints at a dark secret that has been behind the aggression of the minotaurs. The story mainly revolves around Kaz and his friends and family as they seek to stop an evil plot unfolding in their homeland.

The book is well written and it is a good story. It should appeal to Dragonlance fans, and especially to fans of the previous books about Kaz or about minotaurs. But again, reader beware, this is not an epic history about the race of minotaurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

This book is great in ever way, and a must buy for any fan of any Richard A. Knaak novels. It continues the story of Kaz, my favorite character in Knaak's writings, and it pieces together more of the mysteries of his previous writings. This is a great book to add to any collection of books either by Knaak, or any fantasy book collection.
