Synopsis

THE AGE OF DRAGONS IS OVER.

Uncertainty plagues Azeroth’s ancient guardians as they struggle to find a new purpose. This dilemma has hit Kalecgos, youngest of the former Dragon Aspects, especially hard. Having lost his great powers, how can he—or any of his kind—still make a difference in the world?

The answer lies in the distant past, when savage beasts called proto-dragons ruled the skies. Through a mysterious artifact found near the heart of Northrend, Kalecgos witnesses this violent era and the shocking history of the original Aspects: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion, and Nozdormu.

In their most primitive forms, the future protectors of Azeroth must stand united against Galakrond, a bloodthirsty creature that threatens the existence of their race. But did these mere proto-dragons face such a horrific adversary alone, or did an outside force help them? Were they given the strength they would become legendary for...or did they earn it with blood?

While I accept that not many people are fans of Knaak's writing style - he is very repetitive which can be irritating, sometimes its best to assume your reader is paying attention so you don't have to bo......more

This story takes place almost immediately after the in game events of the Dragon Soul raid. I found it rather interesting to see the apathy that the remaining three aspects had about remaining in Azeroth. Yet the story wove to bring them back together was a very repetitive one, caused partially by t......more

Goodreads review by Mj on January 05, 2014

This book was poorly written, too easy to read, and there was nothing at stake in the story. The whole story is based in the past and we already know the outcome of the protagonist's adventures, so none of the danger is real. I gave this two stars because I learned things about Azeroth I didn't know......more

Goodreads review by Dottie on March 09, 2017

This is by far the best book Richard Knaak has ever written. Even though I read this book in their separate parts, this book contains a never before published prologue worth reading alone!......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on May 18, 2019

All-in-all, this is yet another fanatic entry from Richard A. Knaak. First, as is my wont, let's discuss the narrator. I'm sure anyone who's ever listened to a Scott Brick audiobook knows to expect complete awesomeness. And he does not disappoint. He has great voices with a range of emotional inflec......more
