Former Horde warchief Thrall works desperately at the Maelstrom to prevent Azeroth from splitting apart after Deathwing's catastrophic assault. The world teeters on collapse, but Thrall's shamanic powers falter as he struggles with doubts about his new role in the Earthen Ring. The green Dragon Aspect Ysera assigns him what seems like a simple task, yet it launches Thrall across Azeroth and through the streams of time itself. He encounters the ancient dragonflights, once united guardians of the world but now fractured by mistrust and conflict. Deathwing's followers have unleashed a terrifying living weapon designed specifically to hunt and kill dragons. The scattered flights become vulnerable targets. Ysera reveals an even darker threat: her vision of the Hour of Twilight, an apocalyptic future that will destroy everything. Thrall must overcome his personal struggles and find his true purpose before this nightmare becomes reality. The fate of Azeroth's winged protectors hangs in the balance.
