"The adventure continues as young apprentice bowman Leif arrives in the evil nation of Ashtoreth. As Leif and his good friend Caesar attempt to free their captive friends, Lord Ive and Egon, a much larger battle is waging within Ashtoreth. Their former ruler dead, the Ashtors now engage in an ancient tradition to elect their new king—and Leif and his friends are caught in the middle of this bloody tradition. Meanwhile, Cuthbert, newly knighted warrior of the Golden Arrow, joins the Sid Army in its invasion of their hated enemy to the south, Morrigan. On the opposite side of this war, Zoticus, faithful knight of Morrigan, prepares to withstand the Sid Invasion. Unbeknownst to all three young men, their fates and the fates of their nations are inextricably intertwined, resulting in a dramatic climax that will forever change the lives of these young warriors."
