The novel starts with the coven (Hester, Dot, and Anadil) searching for Merlin. They are traveling through the upside-down kingdom of Borna Coric in order to reach the Savage Sea. Professor Dovey had said before she died that Merlin was in the Caves of Contempo, where time runs backwards. The caves are on an island in the Savage Sea. The witches see a message in the sky from Lionsmane, a scim posing as King Rhian's (who is actually Japeth assuming his identity) pen. The message says that the wedding between Sophie and "King Rhian" will take place on schedule.

Meanwhile, Sophie is being essentially held captive in Camelot. At the end of A Crystal In Time, two scims enter Sophie's ears and are now letting Japeth control her. She doesn't remember anything about her friends and is basically a mindless puppet. Whenever she tries to break free, she suffers extreme pain in her head.

As this happens, Tedros and Agatha are in Avalon's safehouse. They've discovered King Arthur's silver swan ring, which is the only one left to prevent the Storian from dying and Japeth gaining the powers of the One True King. They use Wish Fish to find a way back to the Woods. Their protective Wish Fish bubbles bring them back to Camelot just as Japeth is about to complete his marriage to Sophie. Excalibur imbeds itself in stone, and the voice of King Arthur speaks from beyond, declaring a contest of three trials to determine who will be king. According to the rules, Excalibur will crown the winner and decapitate the loser. Agatha tries to save Sophie, but since she's under control of the scims, she tries to kill Agatha. Agatha and Tedros are whisked back to the shores of Avalon in their bubbles. There they meet Guinevere, Tinkerbell, Hort, and Nicola.

With the help of Tinkerbell and her other fairy friends' fairy dust, the group decides to head to Sherwood Forest to wait until Arthur sends his first test. They discover that the area has been destroyed by vandals who were angry that Robin Hood worked together with the Sheriff of Nottingham to fight the Snake in the 5th book. They head to Marian's Arrow, and Agatha discovers Robin's green feather that leaves her a message: a strange royal crest depicting geese. Outside, countless scrolls rain from the sky: each one transcribed with the rules for Arthur's first test.
