The Shadow Dragon threatens to plunge the entire world into darkness. Drake and his fellow Dragon Master Darma must locate Lysa, a Light Dragon who might hold the key to stopping this catastrophe. They discover that Lysa's Dragon Master is Rune, who communicates through sign language. Rune reveals crucial information: only a Star Dragon can defeat the Shadow Dragon, and summoning one requires a magical Star Flute. The flute lies hidden deep within a treacherous labyrinth filled with traps and puzzles. Drake and his companions must navigate the maze's dangers while racing against time. The Shadow Dragon grows stronger each day, and the world grows darker. Success means saving everyone from eternal darkness. Failure means the end of light itself. Drake faces his most challenging quest yet as he ventures into the labyrinth's depths.
