This infection spreads through wounds from the infected creatures and drives those infected to serve a mysterious entity, the Blood Court. The plague is coming from Stonehaven, an ancestral seat of the dwarves who were once allied with Leo’s elf empire. Desperate to solve this problem, Leo must seek out magical allies to break the barrier keeping people out of Stonehaven, then enter the dwarven city—all the while trying to find a cure for the Red Plague itself and destroying the Blood Court. With his old friends—Hugh, Lily, and Zir—as well as new and unexpected allies, Leo will seek to free Stonehaven and once again expand his elf empire. [Contains a wacky bro dragon, a five-year-old stronger than the dragon, more quips than anyone wanted to see, and a complicated magical system with near-endless possible variety. Also, kingdom building, heartfelt dragon moments, and charts. Lots of charts.]
