From the desert to the forest they come, Seven heroes will ride and fly, yet will they return?Some are old friends and some are new, Yet all are set on the quest, the final quest of the Da?ora'l." Lord Kotak seeks to usurp the throne of Arria and destroy King Womba with magic he inherited from Doomba. He's hired an assassin griffin to attack Lord Fobata, and sowed dissent among the royal guards with Sergeant Aman and Sergeant Gnat trying to keep the peace. Secluded in the dungeon, the wizard Yaggee aids Kotak and teaches him how to use his powers in secret.
Kotak has also hired the bandit Shama and his gang to steal Tau's Cup, the grail of the gods, from Basha, the lion of light who destroyed Doomba. Years ago, Basha and his wife Monika survived a dangerous quest along with their allies to recover Tau's Cup. Everyone separated and they've settled down since then, but it's still just them. After a devastating attack, Basha and Monika must recover what has been lost and seek revenge. They need help to track it down.

They're accompanied by Eldo, a young man hiding secrets of his own as he's forced to join them. For Basha and Monika can't continue alone with the challenges that lie ahead. More friends come, old and new, and they face difficult choices as they approach the capital of Coe Kiki. They might have to make the ultimate sacrifice as the palace is attacked.
Barricades rise up on the city streets, and soldiers fight soldiers over who will claim the throne of Arria and Tau's Cup. The Grail Curse is real, and it will strike them down.
