The one who is able to bring back together the pieces of the Dragon Crown, which in mythical times were transformed into six dragons and scattered to all the winds, will rule the world. The sorcerer Astorin wishes to find those six dragons. He has already succeeded in fashioning a white figure for the Dragon Crown. Warned of this by the Golden Dragon, the moon priestess Rolana is in highest alarm. Together with her friends Xerda, Ibis, Lahryn and Cay, she becomes destined to protect the world from the evil sorcerer. In the meantime, Astorins allies Saranga and Vertos are searching between the worlds for the Dragon Gate, for only there can Astorin assemble the crown so that its power can unfold. Astorin, with a woman student of the Morad Order, goes to Castle Draka and succeeds in wresting the black figure from the powerful vampire, though the loss of his apprentice to the vampire is a severe blow to him. Accompanied by the thoughts of the dragon, Rolana and her companions travel to the gate between the worlds. Saranga and Vertos succeed through trickery in stealing the fifth figure of the Dragon Crown, which Rolana and her friends had discovered in the underworld. The five friends win the race for the sixth and final figure, but they still must bring it to the Cave of the Lion in order to break the power of Astorin forever.
