Goliath and Elisa meet with Katherine and the Mage. Under attack from the Archmage, Demona, Macbeth, and 3 of Auberon's children, Elisa knows they'll need more allies in the up coming fight. She goes to wake a human who has been on the island for a long time.

With the Archmage's millennia-spanning plot nearing completion, Goliath decides they must try to recapture one of the items that gives the magician his power. Meanwhile, Elisa and the Magus investigate the legend of the sleeping King - Arthur Pendragon.

The company hopes for some rest upon returning to Avalon. But the peace is short lived, as Oberon appears, demanding that humans and gargoyles leave the island to make way for the return of his children.
