After a raucous season, Max and the Midknights are back in Byjovia and ready for action.

When the Gnomes of Tresk are kidnapped by a mysterious evil, Max and the Midknights volunteer to save them; Max's plans for her second quest go awry when she learns not all the Midknights are as eager as she is to go on the mission.

As Max and the Midknights sail across the sea on their quest, they get spooked when Uncle Budrick claims there's a ghost on board their ship; Mumblin fears someone is out to get him.

After being blown off course, the Midknights navigate a set of treacherous waterfalls as they try to reach the Gnomes of Tresk. Meanwhile, Mumblin pleads for his freedom in Wizard Court where the odds are stacked against him.
