A new D&D hardcover is now available on pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
At Barnes & Noble, there are reviews already. Mysterious clues from Wizards of the Coast, fake reviews from the bookshop or fans messing around?
Update: The speculation on the title here was wrong. The book is Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel
Amazon US has a placeholder, UK has nothing, AU, a placeholder and the wildcard site Amazon Brazil has a placeholder.
Amazon Canada has a little more information. It suggests the price will be CA$65.95, and that’s a bit more expensive than typical hardcovers from Wizards of the Coast but shy of a boxset. The D&D rules expansion on Amazon CA is currently $146, reduced from $221 and, in contrast, Mordenkaine’s Tome of Foes $45. However, the RRP for Tome of Foes is $65, and Amazon CA is asking $65.29 for Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse.
Please note that Amazon’s tech will redirect any of those links to which Amazon local site it picks for you. Hopefully, you’ll also pick up a Geek Native affiliate cookie, and I think that clears with your sessions.

There’s some text on Amazon CA, which is also a placeholder but a different placeholder than the marketing blurb Wizards of the Coast had started to use.

Make of it what you will but Barnes and Nobles also has a placeholder that has some reviews.
One review from “ORCsOrcsorcs”, from the last 24 hours, wants more orcs;
Too Many Dwarfs Not Enough Orcs! They did my boy obold dirty!
One from Ushimimi from 2 days ago says its a setting.
Far Too Radiant, Not Enough Citadel. There is not much to say about Wizards’ new watermelon-flavored setting that has not already been said. It was simply too radiant for my tastes.
A Google search confirms the Radiant comment hasn’t been cribbed from elsewhere, and it’s unique to this book review.
There is an old Dragonlance supplement called Citadel of Light. The PDF is available, with softcover print-on-demand, from DriveThruRPG. There are dwarves;
Citadel of Light
A Light in the Darkness…
In a time when the shadows of the Great Dragons darken Ansalon’s horizons, a single beacon shines brightly—the Citadel of Light!
Built by dwarves, protected by Solamnic Knights, and sacred to pilgrims of virtually every race on Krynn, the crystal domes of the Citadel of Light are the Fifth Age’s first and greatest center of new magic. Guided by Goldmoon, venerable Hero of the Lance, Citadel mystics beat back the darkness by cultivating the last gift of the gods: the power of the heart! Citadel of Light explores the wonders of these powers in two 96-page books and a poster map. Features include:
Detail on the Citadel and its home, the isle of Schallsea, from the point of view of Iryl Songbrook, an elf who fought in the War of the Lance and witnessed the rise of the mystic magic.
Descriptions of key characters associated with the Citadel of Light.
A full-color illustrated poster map that depicts the Citadel and environs on one side and the isle of Schallsea on the other.
A full adventure that Narrators can use to weave an entire campaign around the Citadel of Light. With ties to the earlier Dragons of a New Age adventures, this booklet gives you the flexibility to forge your own new legends!
There have been Dragonlance hints, and Wizards of the Coast are currently playtesting Dragonlance material.
However, there’s also been Spelljammer hints, and there’s a Spelljammer novel called The Radiant Dragon.
It’s all conjecture, though, and we shouldn’t have long to wait.
