A frost-breathing dragon called Weltheron the White, flees his home (a great hive of fire-breathing dragons) because he does not fit in with his own kind. It turns out this unique dragon was altered as an egg by a sorcerer, who possesses winter powers. Mysteriously, it is not in Weltheron's nature to kill, but to protect. Soon destiny takes Weltheron down an uncertain path, one where he must choose between his own kind and those his kind considers their enemies. In the meantime, whilst in his plight to seek answers, he encounters many adventures along the way. Not only does he learn how to master his newfound abilities, but discovers that he must stop a bewitched foe far more terrifying than any dragon.

Oscar Wilde's only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.
