200 years ago, Eelios created an amulet and plunged their world into chaos by enslaving his own people, the winged Faylians, and the groundling Ikarians who lived on the flats below the Faylian city, Zethera. Now, Eelios' son, Rybone, has possession of the amulet, and is intent on avenging his father's death. However, there is a turn of events that no one expected and the amulet is now in the possession of the one man who has more to lose than any of them. Jareth and Theron team up with a reluctant Ikarian, Darian, and Oriana, a woman with her own startling secret, in a race to gain control of the amulet and save their world.
