Having witnessed a young woman, he knows to be Princess Rhiana of Abador, being handed over to the blood-lusting Galyaks, Lucian sets forth for Abador. Arriving at the walled city, he discovers the city is under the control of Nikobar, a sinister Cygian sorcerer, who has orchestrated the princess's kidnapping so that he might sacrifice her to his infernal Dragon Lord, Gazankulu, on Asima Na and condemn the world to eternal darkness. All is not yet lost, however. If Lucian can unite the fabled Xavier Knights, together they might still snatch Princess Rhiana from the Galyaks and in turn, thwart Nikobar's fiendish plans.
