War rages on Ansalon, whose devastating flames engulf the cities of men and elves in turn. An army of dead souls ruthlessly advances, led by the magical warrior, Mina, who serves the mighty One God.

The heroes, for whom there is not much hope left, search for new allies and find help where they would least expect it: Malys, the mighty red dragon whose territories are now openly threatened by Mina's army, stands by their side. And the other hope for the heroes is someone who has always been among them and who may have the great secret of the past that is also key to victory: a kangaroo who calls himself Tasslehoff.
