The book begins in the city of Blacksand, where a Dark Elf gives the player information about the titular dragon, before the player travels to meet the Dragon Conclave to gain information about the location of several magic items which will aid the player. The items consist of a sword, a shield and some armour. The player must then find these items, and then defeat the Night Dragon.
Rules
The books contains several scores which are not part of the standard Fighting Fantasy rules. An HONOUR score monitors the player's heroic character, increasing or decreasing according to their behaviour and can, in fact, go below 0. A NEMESIS score tracks how much the player's enemies learn of their opposition. A "Time Track" score also increases as the adventure goes on - the longer the player takes to reach the titular Dragon, the more powerful will it will be when they meet. There are various items for the player to collect, which help in the final battle with the Dragon.
