Richard A. Knaak is the New York Times bestselling author of some three dozen novels, including the The Sin War trilogy for Diablo and the Legend of Huma for Dragonlance. No stranger to the world of Warcraft, he has penned, in addition to this, the collected War of the Ancients trilogy, Day of the Dragon and its upcoming followup, Night of the Dragon. His other works include his own Dragonrealm series, the Minotaur Wars for Dragonlance, the Aquilonia trilogy of the Age of Conan, and the Sunwell Trilogy -- the first Warcraft manga. In addition, his novels and short stories have been published worldwide in such diverse places as China, Iceland, the Czech Republic, and Brazil. He looks forward to continuing to return to Sanctuary and Azeroth in future stories.

Night of the Dragon is the epic follow up to Day of the Dragon, one of the bestselling Warcraft novels of all time, and the first Warcraft trade paperback original. Years have passed since the events chronicled in Day of the Dragon and in that time Azeroth has seen upheaval such as the mage, Krasus, could not in all his centuries of existence have imagined. The Undead Scourge, the Plaguelands, none of this even an ancient dragon - for Krasus is in reality the red behemoth, Korialstrasz - could have prevented. Yet, ever protective of the world and, especially, the younger races, he continues, through both his own powers and the use of agents, to do what he can to bring, if not peace, respite. But although demons and conquerors have made up much of the troubles he has been forced to contain, it is the dragons, his own kind, that disturb him most of late. Their stirrings portend dark times ahead. War is coming - a conflict on a scale unimagined, heralded by a storm of wings and fought with arcane fire in which all Azeroth may burn.
