Having already experienced Kevin's treachery, Karl conceals his return until he can liberate his team, soon discovering there is a traitor among them. His problems are further compounded for the wicked sorceress Eleris has the magic-enhancing Delf Stone and if Karl intends to conquer Innis Torr and regain his kingdom, he must first steal the Delf Stone.
