The final battle is at hand ... It is a dark and terrible winter in Hunter's Reach as strange phantoms prowl the lands, turning all they encounter to stone or ice. Rana is sure Lyricon and the dragons are to blame for the shocking magical attacks ... but they all seem to have disappeared. Meanwhile, in the realm of Ormeria, the dragon king prepares a mighty military force to attack Howling Rock and destroy the wolves once and for all. But neither the wolves nor the dragons are prepared for the sinister force that threatens them both.
