A nearby tavern servant with quite a talent for getting in (and out) of tough scrapes is targeted by the king's guard when a young cook's assistant reveals his unusual talent to the captain himself. After sending a young lieutenant to collect the tavern boy one dark, snowy evening, the captain and his man discover the strange boy's talent is even more extraordinary: he can move objects with his mind. An ostensibly simple mission to rescue a girl from the castle keep of the dreaded Lord Darkmoore becomes complicated when the girl turns out to be a princess at the center of an ancient prophecy that determines the fate of the entire kingdom. Meanwhile, a long-thought-dead agent of the king makes a sudden reappearance, as well as a mysterious band of black-clad assassins from a haunted, legendary island. The uncanny inhabitants of the island want the tavern boy for their own nefarious ends, the agent from the past has special knowledge, the Dark Lord wants revenge, the king desperately needs to complete his mission… and the supernatural tavern boy and the princess are at the center of it all. A dark history and a past crime eventually bring everything together for a final battle that will decide the destiny of the kingdom once and for all.
