Suggested Trilogy:

 

The Eve of the Maelstrom The Fifth Age  By Jean Rabe

Back Cover Text:
The two most powerful dragon overlords clash in a showdown for the ultimate rule over Ansalon! 
Malystryx and Khellendros have long been in collusion, but as the dragons grow in size and strength, so do their egos and their thirst for power.  The Blue Dragon plots against Malys in a bid for dominance over the other dragon overlords and her fury at his betrayal is as massive and fiery as she. 
The heroes of a new age have their own scheming to do as it becomes clear that the power of the heart can help them battle against the dragons that hve so completely devastated their homeland.  But can strength of spirit--pure emotion and faith--ever prevail over raw power and size? 
Both the battle between evil dragon overlords and the fight for Good come to the fore as the first epic trilogy of the Fifth Age comes to a conclusion. 

Review:
This book is actually decent through most of it, but I was very disappointed by the ending, which probably was done to open Dragonlance to future books.  The good use of the characters in The Day of the Tempest did not really transfer to this book.  For example, Palin and Ulin didn't get enough of the action here.  And some unaccounted jumps in time sort of bothered me.  But if you've already read the first two books, you may as well finish this one.  But beware, the cheesiness in Jean Rabe's writing may be unbearable to some people. Rating:  5/10
