After being captured by Tiks Rinyard, the evil archmage of Blen Duffel, Grumpet, and Radamuck are freed by the Lowbridge dwarves, led by Aidan Rosar. Acting on a tip from the wizard, Grumpet, Radamuck, Yanos, and Jessica sail to Oak Flats, where they convince the squirrellen princess, Princess Von Bushy, to join them in a siege against Ran Sheltar, who has broken out of Carackstine to take control of Myrindar, the great city of the southlands.

Aided by the visions of Kirkrik Dannell, the four friends break away from the combined army and head south to rally survivors and to try to get a read of Sheltar's army.

Will Grumpet defeat Sheltar to claim the destiny his grandfather, Krampel Paddymeyer, laid down for him when he handed him the great sword, Flad-rul? Will Yanos keep his promise and return to Deerkin? And what secret does Sheltar have up his sleeve?
