The former Dragon Aspects are on the brink of going their separate ways to forge new destinies. As Kalecgos ponders the uncertain future awaiting his kind, he uncovers a mysterious artifact that allows him to see through the eyes of his late predecessor, Malygos.

But many questions remain for Kalecgos. What are the origins of this strange artifact? Are its visions a gift, or a curse?

Powerful visions of history torment Kalecgos, forcing him to witness Galakrond's brutality firsthand. The ravenous beast terrorizes ancient Kalimdor, consuming everyone in his path. The original Aspects and other proto-dragons struggle to temper their savage rivalries long enough to make a stand against their merciless enemy, but their efforts might prove useless. A horrific new threat is rising from Galakrond's shadow: the undead. Apart from this chilling discovery, Kalecgos is troubled by a mysterious hooded figure from the distant past who appears in the present, pushing the blue dragon's sanity to the breaking point.

Alliances and betrayals are taking shape among the ancient proto-dragons as they rally against Galakrond. Kalecgos—seeing these events through Malygos's eyes—is quickly losing a sense of his own identity. Amid harrowing attacks from undead and living proto-dragons, the former blue Aspect is finding it harder to separate the past from the present… and his thoughts from those of Malygos. Meanwhile, the archmage Jaina Proudmoore launches an investigation of the strange artifact granting Kalecgos visions of history. Her efforts lead to startling discoveries about the relic's origins and the deadly fate that may lie ahead for her blue dragon companion.

Chaos grips the icy wastes of ancient Kalimdor. A united group of proto-dragons has taken wing for a daring assault against Galakrond and his throngs of mindless undead. The blue dragon Kalecgos bears mute witness to the chilling battle through the eyes of his predecessor, Malygos. He and his new comrades—Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Ysera, and Neltharion—soon find themselves struggling tooth and claw for survival. Their only hope for the future may lie with an enigmatic figure named Tyr. But even with the aid of this mighty stranger, do the proto-dragons have any chance of withstanding Galakrond’s fury?

Time is running out for Kalec. The strange artifact forcing him to experience past events will soon destroy the blue dragon's identity. As Jaina Proudmoore struggles to break the relic's hold over Kalec, visions of ancient history continue assaulting him. Through the eyes of Malygos, he witnesses a desperate fight taking shape above the icy wastes of northern Kalimdor. Galakrond, driven by an insatiable hunger, is poised to consume all life on the continent. Only five proto-dragons—Alexstrasza, Malygos, Nozdormu, Neltharion, and Ysera—possess the courage to stand against the monstrous creature. This thrilling finale to the Dawn of the Aspects series will reveal the mysteries behind the artifact, Galakrond's gruesome corruption, and the climactic battle that changed Azeroth forever—the battle that gave rise to the age of the dragons.
