About The Legend of Huma

New York Times bestseller: In the realms of Dragonlance, the legend of one heroic knight is larger than life . . .

When word spreads that goblins are roaming nearby, Huma Dragonbane, a Knight of the Crown, is sent to patrol the woods and fend off chaos. It is there that he stumbles upon a tortured minotaur, Kaz, who he swiftly frees from vicious goblin captors. So beings an unlikely but powerful friendship—one that will plunge Huma and Kaz into a deadly battle against the treacherous Knights of Solamnia and the dark goddess Takhisis. Even with the power of the legendary Silver Dragon at their side, Huma and Kaz face overwhelming odds . . .

Only fragments of the account of Huma survived the Cataclysm that broke the world of Krynn. His story has never been fully told—until now.

Review

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. It is Misham, Newkolt the 13th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of The Legend of Huma. 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.

This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.

We are introduced to Huma and the political state of affairs of the Knights of Solamnia immediately. Huma is sent on a mission with Rennard, his immediate commander, and they rout some goblins in a desolate town in Solamnia. There are a lot of towns like this near the frontline of battle between the Dark Queen’s forces and the Knights of Solamnia. They battle some goblins and Huma is separated from his squad. He comes across goblins torturing a minotaur, and with concealment from the mists rescues the minotaur, Kas. Kas killed his slaver, ogres in the east, and says he owes Huma his life. This is a lot like Chewbacca’s life debt to Han Solo, and their relationship is also very similar, but as I am a Star Wars fan, I don’t mind it. 

They try to return to Huma’s knights and come across a group of diseased and recently pillaged villagers who choose to attack Kas as an act of vengeance. Huma tries to intervene, but it is a Silver Dragon that prevents the battle, and it offers Huma and Kaz a ride back to Huma’s unit. On the way they see a squad of dragons flying toward them, searching for Magius, and the dragon has them jump off, but Huma stays on and fights Crynus, Takhisis’ warlord and leader of the Black Guard, her elite troops, on his black dragon Charr. Huma wounds Crynus in the back severely and rather than the other dragons coming in to kill them, they safely guard the retreat of Crynus. 

Solamnic Knights ride up, and its Rennard and Huma’s squad. They bicker over Kaz, but ultimately accept Huma’s word about Kas, and all ride to the front lines, which has shifted in their absence. The Silver Dragon leaves and as they ride further they see a battle ongoing and join in. In the battle Huma is knocked from his horse and trampled. He wakes and a half-elf-ish woman named Gwyneth, the silver dragon in disguise,
