Spyro and Cynder, the dragons of legend. The power of the purple and black dragons is unmatched, but all power comes with a price and dark days are ahead for our two heroes. Three years after the events of DoTD Cynder returns to the dragon city, and to Spyro. But all is not well in the dragon world. Now Cynder and Spyro must face their most brilliant foe yet... and their own fates.

Awakening in a restored world, Spyro and Cynder find themselves lost within an uncharted valley. Chancing upon the bastion of a forgotten element, they discover a faltered utopia where society is strictly stratified and imperfection, blindly outcasted. When a dire conspiracy plunges the valley into chaos, they resolve to fight once more, but here, nothing is simply black and white.
