With their adventures in Animalya, Mana, Samhain, and Roundtable behind them, our heroes have found a way out of the volcano but are cast to different realms for dissimilar reasons. Jen finds herself in Temperance, where a hybrid race of dwarfs and elves called dwelves have been living a peaceful existence until the arrival of a sinister creature that is claiming lives seemingly at random in order to motivate them to flee. Meanwhile, far away in another part of Arcanaland, Madame El, Trath, Will, Holly, Sofia, and Alejo, are dealing with problems of their own-namely, ghost cowboys who still believe they are alive and well in the grand style of the Old West and an unscrupulous hermit named Jedrek, who stole a priceless item from the Sensaqui tribe.
