Die Drachenarmeen der dunklen Göttin Takhisis schreiten unaufhaltsam voran, während das Bündnis der Verteidiger aus Elfen, Zwergen und Menschen an ihren eigenen Streitigkeiten zerbricht. Kurz bevor die Könige trotz der Bedrohung durch die Drachen einander den Krieg erklären können, betritt der Schmied Theros Eisenfeld die Ratshalle. In seinen Händen hält er die Waffe, die ihnen doch noch den Sieg über Takhisis bringen könnte: die wiedergeschmiedete Drachenlanze!

Destina Rosethorn—as her name implies—believes herself to be very much a favored child of destiny. But when her father dies in the War of the Lance, her carefully constructed world comes crashing down. Not only does she lose her beloved father, but the legacy he has left her: a wealthy fiancé, and rule over the family lands and castle. With nothing left in the world to support her but wits and determination, she hatches a bold plan: to secure the Device of Time Journeying she read about in one of her father's books and prevent her father's death.

When Destina Rosethorn and her companions were transported to a time 300 years before their birth—to the days of the Third Dragon War famed in song and story—the last thing they wanted to do was upset history. But upon returning to the near-past from which they departed, they discover a world completely altered. Thanks in no small part to the Graygem of Gargath that Destina carries, the war that was once won is now lost, and the forces of evil hold sway over the land.
