While Prince Egon struggles to control the magic that is destroying his father, the Drogar, an enemy invader lands upon the coast. Commander Antar has come to pillage Rast for the burning stone that can fuel his iron furnaces, and to conquer the magic kingdom. Egon, leaving his sweetheart Jady and his loyal captains to keep Rast's magic enemies at bay goes to spy on the unbelievers, but is captured. Forced to act as Antar's guide through the mountains to Rast he studies both his human enemies and the deadly magic in a desperate attempt to gather the power needed to defeat all his enemies.
Left uncontrolled, many magic entities gather strength and attempt to rise to power – the mysterious oracle, Pythian, the lemming-like North Folk, and the evil Deepning, a mountain pool that is not water but an amorphous, fluid sentience. Even the Prince's resentful mother feels the magic stir within her and seeks control over the young people.
While Antar's iron machines storm across Rast's plains and the dying sorcerer-king struggles to give his son time to rule the magic, other conflicts unfold. In an attempt to outmatch the princess coming from the East to be Egon's bride Jady leads the whole caravan within range of Deepning's bewitching spells. Even stronger now, Deepning and the rampaging magic have to be defeated by raw power, and no one knows whether Egon is able to wield it.
