Plot Summary of Dragons of Spring Dawning - Dragonlance Chronicles 3
"This is the chilling conclusion in the Dragonlance Trilogy. The companions embark to finally defeat the Goddess Tahakasis and redeem the planet Krynn for the races that inhabit the planet. Together the companions each play an intricate part in stopping the dragons and the goddess from taking over the planet. Metaphorically the companions represent a unification of the races of Krynn working together to rid the world of evil. "
