Synopsis
The rebellion against the Dragon Kings is losing. Nathan Bedlam and the Gryphon turn to a desperate spell that could win the war, but it may cost them their souls. A darker threat is also growing: an ancient evil is being revived through a magical blade created by Nathan's son, Azran, which has a malevolent mind of its own. The blade could turn the tide of the war, and the saga explains how the Dragonrealm and the Dragon Masters came to be.
