Bethyl and the Winter Night Rider

It is all Bethyl’s fault! Bethyl with his Dwarfs and dragons were supposed to take her youngest son, Hatton, to the monastery in the Kobal Mountains so he could become a Sharharri. Instead Bethyl tricked Hatton into playing a ritual game against the Winter Night Rider! Hatton lost the game which meant he became Bethyl’s servant for two years. Then Bethyl tricked Hatton into marrying Princes Mellu. Now Bethyl has captured Queen Viper’s Granddaughter Mira and through the mystery of the purple flowers he has Marsha’s help in causing Queen Viper’s territories to revolt against her. To make matters worse, Queen Viper had promised Mira to King Rojer of Lextor. He now is demanding Queen Viper deliver Mira to him or he will go to war against her. When Marsha with her army of ten thousand Orthens, Dwarfs, dragons and other allies surround Queen Viper’s castle, Queen Viper knows the only way for her to win is to challenge the Winter Night Rider to a ritual game.
