As the sources of dragon blood dwindle and scouts are sent out to discover new ones, a devastating scenario unfolds. Claydon Torcreek is one of the survivors of the perilous journey through the uncharted wilderness of the Corvantine Empire. However, instead of finding new sources of blood that could secure the future of his people, he discovers a nightmare. The legendary White Dragon has awakened from its millennia-long slumber and craves to lay waste to the human world. And worse still: it commands an army of the Corrupted who are loyal to it.
