Having successfully defended his home village from Soltra the stone charmer, Tom sets out on the next stage of his quest.

Searching for the pieces of the golden armor that he needs to rescue Aduro, Tom discovers the golden chain mail around the neck of Claw the Giant Ape and enters in a fierce battle with the monster, calling on Ferno the Fire Dragon for help.

Desperate for knowledge about his mysterious father and determined to finish his quest, Tom heads west, where Cepha the Giant Squid threatens the seas. But his arrival brings back memories of his encounter with Sepron the Sea Serpent, an encounter he barely had survived.

When animals mysteriously stampede and brush fires sweep the prairie, Tom and Elenna, who hear that a mysterious horseman is causing the damage, speed to the plains in an effort to stop Tagus, the night horse.
