One day, bloodthirsty red dragons attacked a caravan, destroying Dorn Greybrook's family and terribly crippling him. Since then, the meaning of his life has become the hunt for dragons - he tries to destroy any of these creatures that he can track down. Although the dragons of Faerun, like people, are very different, among them there are ruthless killers and noble sages. But every few years, they are all struck by madness, when any dragon becomes obsessed with bloodlust.

Dorn and his friends begin a great hunt, but the outcome of this battle will surprise him.
