Dragons' Wrath was the sixth and final audio story published by Big Finish Productions in the first series of their Bernice Summerfield series. It was the final Big Finish adaptation of a Virgin New Adventures novel until 2012's Love and War.

Unlike the previous adaptions, this story was only a single CD while the five earlier stories were each two CDs.

Publisher's summary

The warlord Gamaliel from the legendary Knights of Jeneve captured The Gamalian Dragon, ­ a jewel-encrusted statuette, after the Battle of Bocaro. It is now sought by Romolo Nusek, apparently Gamaliel's descendant, to prove his right to assume his ancestor's mantle as ruler of the Sector.

When Benny joins a group seeking to find the legendary stauette, she hs a secret. No one can possibly find one on Stanturus because she's already carrying it ­ left for her by a murdered colleague.

The trouble is, the expedition does find one and, as a result, most of them are mysteriously slaughtered. Benny realises she and historian Nicholas Clyde must discern the traitor in their midst. Could it be Gilder, the obsequious administrator from Benny's own university? Could it be Truby Kamadrich, the famous archaeologist? Or might it be the bizarre librarian Reddick, who never leaves Nusek's vaults, protected by an inhospitable volcano?
