Years after Day of the Dragon, something has taken root in Grim Batol, the fortress where the red dragons were once held captive. Dragons are disappearing, and the mage Krasus and the blue dragon Kalecgos go to investigate, while a draenei priestess named Iridi crosses the sea on an errand of her own. Inside, Deathwing's consort Sintharia is breeding something new.
What this adds if you've played the games
This is where the twilight dragonflight begins, and it becomes a major enemy in Cataclysm, where Sintharia also turns up as a raid boss. Rhonin and Vereesa have parts too, settled and older. It's Knaak at his most dragon-obsessed, with plenty of shapeshifting battles and not much else. Read Day of the Dragon first; this builds on it.
