About Amber and Blood

In the conclusion to the Dark Disciple trilogy, Mina uncovers the truth she has long denied: she alone can upset the balance of power in heaven

Finally free of the Blood Sea Tower, Mina at last learns the truth about herself. Once a mortal dedicated to the One God and then to Chemosh, she is in fact a god herself—a revelation that sends her and all of heaven into a desperate frenzy.

Rhys, the monk of Majere, is given the dangerous assignment of guarding the crazed god. Accompanied by his dog Atta and the kender Nightshade, he escorts her on a long, strange journey to the mysterious place known as Godshome. Along the way, they seek those Mina can trust—but that list is very short.

Their path is fraught with peril, for the undead Beloved want to make Mina their leader. The fearsome death knight Krell brings fire and death to the town of Solace in an effort to seize her. And her trusted former lieutenant, the minotaur named Galdar, is ordered to try to turn Mina to the side of evil by delivering her to her most hated enemy.

Review

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. It is Bakukal, Frostkolt 31st, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of Amber and Blood. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now! I would like to take a moment and thank the members of this YouTube channel, and invite you to consider becoming a member by visiting the link in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance gaming materials using my affiliate link. This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.

Book One begins with the Gods standing around Mina as she’s lying on the ground, just after having raised the Tower of the Blood Sea to the surface for Chemosh. Majere and Mishakal reveal that Mina was created when the gods created the world. She was a by-product that would have been destroyed by the other gods if Paladine and Mishakal told the other gods about her. They set her into an eternal slumber and placed her in the depths of Krynn’s oceans. When Takhisis stole the world and was locating artifacts and magic to draw energy from, she discovered Mina, and decided to corrupt and use her to her own ends. Gilean forces the gods to swear an oath to let Mina find her own path and role in the pantheon of deities. Everyone reluctantly agrees. Just then, Mina gets up and runs to the edge of the battlements, leaping into the ocean.

Chemosh, refusing to let Mina go, now wanting to bring her to the dark gods side, turns Ausric Krell into a Bone Acolyte and orders him to collect Mina. Rhys Mason and Nightshade are at the shoreline reflecting on what has happened when a young child, crying out for help, washes up on shore. It is Mina but she has reverted to her childlike form. They take her to the grotto temple of Zeboim where they had recently escaped to get her warm, and they are approached by Zeboim who wants Rhys to stay with Mina. Majere also wants him to protect her until she makes a choice about where she will land. Zeboim warms them all up and leaves, and Krell arrives, but Mina is having none of his nonsense,
