Jim, who is now the Sir James, Baron of Malencontri et Riveroak is trying to be a good English Lord however, fate conspires against him and sets him on an adventure to recover the prince of England, who is being held captive in France. Little does Jim know that he'll be going up against the interests of the "Dark Powers" who are already at work to thwart Jim's mission. This will culminate in Jim squaring off against the evil and powerful sorcerer Malvinne.
