Synopsis
The wizard Cabe Bedlam is troubled by sinister dreams that lead him and the shadow-steed Darkhorse to Legar, a desolate peninsula. There a desperate band of wolf raiders, whose empire has collapsed, has found the resting place and sorcerous artifacts of the inhuman Quel. Cabe, Darkhorse and the Gryphon are caught between two hellish hordes. To defeat them, Cabe must become the willing pawn of the oldest and most enigmatic drake of all, the Crystal Dragon.
