Synopsis
The four princes who defeated an evil witch have gone their separate ways, but they are called back together when a powerful object threatens to fall into the wrong hands. Liam, Frederic, Duncan and Gustav must act in secret, because no one in their kingdoms would believe that they are the ones doing the saving. Their search involves magical gemstones, bladejaw eels, a mysterious figure known as the Gray Phantom and two warlords who each want to rule the world. The princes have to keep the gemstones out of the warlords' hands while putting up with each other's habits, and the stakes grow with every kingdom they cross.
