Leifr and Thurid were in trouble - worse than usual. In Leifr's efforts to recover his lost love, Ljosa, and Thurid's attempt to escape the Inquisitors they had fallen into the hands of the evil Master Wizard Djofull. Djofull had tricked them into swearing in blood that they would destroy the curse that afflicted Hraedsla-dalur or return to serve his vile plans.

Leifr must accomplish an incredible feat and perform a loathsome task to rescue his wizard friend, Thurid, from the Fire Wizards' Inquisition and his beloved Ljosa from the evil wizard, Sorkvir.
