[[Image:Stub.png|20px]] ''To be announced...''
[[Grim Batol]]: its dark legacy stretches back into the mists of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]'s past. But most know it as the site of a terrible tragedy -- where the vile [[orc]]s corrupted the hatchlings of the noble Dragonqueen, [[Alexstrasza]], and used them as weapons of war. Though a band of heroes, led by the enigmatic [[mage]], [[Krasus]], defeated the orcs and freed the captive [[dragon]]s, the cursed mountain stands as another ravaged landmark within the '''World of Warcraft'''.

But now Krasus -- known to some as the [[red dragonflight|red dragon]] [[Korialstrasz]] -- senses the malice of Grim Batol rising once more to threaten those he holds dear. Determined this time to confront this evil by himself, he is unaware of the quests that will draw others to Grim Batol and reveal the monstrous truth that could not only herald their deaths, but usher in a terrible new age of darkness and destruction.<ref name = "Excerpt"/>

==Plot==
 
[[Zzeraku]], an imprisoned nether dragon, struggles in vain to escape from [[skardyn]], a race of fish-like dwarves, who are holding him down with magical cables. He is confronted by a woman with a scarred side, whom it is later revealed to be [[Sinestra]], a black dragon and [[Deathwing]]'s prime consort.
 
 
Sintharia (Sinestra's dragon title), was using a [[Chrysalun Chamber]] to trap the wayward nether dragon, and little by little fed the nether dragon to her newest creation, the twilight dragon [[Dargonax]], which means "Devourer" in [[draconic]].
 
 
A cloaked figure, later reveled to be the draenei [[Iridi]], makes her way from [[Ratchet]] to [[Menethil Harbor]]. While there, the harbor comes under attack by [[raptor]]s from the surrounding area. In an attempt to enter [[Grim Batol]], she encounters [[Krasus]] and [[Kalecgos]] who with her assistance defeat two members of the [[twilight dragonflight]]. Iridi carries an extremely powerful staff revealed to have origins with the [[naaru]], which she wields masterfully. This staff disappears whenever it leaves her hands, and she can summon it at will. The staff's twin belonged to Iridi's companion, who was slain by [[Zendarin]], taken, and then used for powering [[Dargonax]].
 
 
A few events occur that at the time seem unrelated, but they lead up to a greater climax.
 
 
Also, a mission undertaken by the dwarf [[Rom]] attempting to defeat an unknown adversary in Grim Batol is described. During this mission, [[Vereesa Windrunner]] aids them in an attempt to kill her traitor cousin, [[Zendarin]]. The group is later captured and imprisoned in [[Grim Batol]] by [[skardyn]] and [[dragonspawn]].
 
 
The book ends with a epilogue, where it is revealed that [[Deathwing]] has been hiding at the bottom of Grim Batol for the whole time, watching and learning from the mistakes from the other antagonists from the book, and with the mountain once again empty he plans to use the many dragon eggs hidden there, from all different [[dragonflight]]s, to start his work again to create a superior dragon flight for his own purposes to control the other dragonflights.
