Kaye and his friends must overturn a rebel knight's conspiracy and discover the truth behind a mysterious beast before it's too late-but it just might cost them everything.

The search for Kaye's missing tutor leads him to a sinister manor at the edge of a dark forest. Villagers living nearby are terrified of a monstrous beast and rumors fly about other men who have also disappeared-taken by the beast, the villagers whisper to each other.

Meanwhile, the rebel knight Bragwayne lives locked away in his manor house behind an enormous wall. No one goes in or comes out, until Kaye, Reggie, Beau, and their stubborn new friend Layla find a way to infiltrate Bragwayne's domain. Once inside, they discover a horrifying secret that puts the entire nation of Knox in danger. Can they ruin Bragwayne's plans and save their country? When there's no one to turn to for help, can they even save themselves?
