Ishara is ruled by Empra Iluris, who has trouble with Priestlord Klovus. Meanwhile, frostwreths destroy a village in Norterra where Koll's beloved daughter and grandsons had been. She demands that Adan's people join her in war with her enemies, the frostwreths. As the story opens, a devastating sandstorm precedes the arrival at Adan's castle gates of a hundred sandwreths, led by Queen Voo. Penda has a pet ska, Xar, scaled and the size of a falcon. Adan's lovely wife Penda comes from the nomadic Utauk trader clans. Young Adan Starfall is king of Suderra, one of the Three Kingdoms (Adan's father Conn is high king and his uncle Koll is king of Norterra). Millennia later, humans have built their own warring empires. The wreth factions were believed to have exterminated each other. Terrible wars followed between two factions of wreth and the human slaves they created to do their bidding. It's said that the god Kur first created the wreth race, powerful in magic, and disappeared after commanding them to kill the dragon Ossus. Anderson's Spine of the Dragon opens a new fantasy series, Wake the Dragon, set in a world where the Commonwealth of Three Kingdoms and Ishara have long been at war.
