The Dragon Realms have survived Nexus's attacks, but now Ragnor's wrath has been awakened. Spyro and his friends will now have to join forces with an unlikely ally in order to survive, and in the process Spyro may be forced to come to terms with a difficult truth: the truth of the purple dragon.

Spyro and Cynder thought that it was over with Malefor's defeat. They thought wrong. As dragon-kind tries to rebuild following the war, a new threat emerges, one that is more connected to Spyro than anyone could ever imagine.
