The Knight of the Dawn must find out where Scott and Marla are hidden, retrieve the artifacts, and keep The Sphinx from collecting anymore artifacts.

The plan goes terribly wrong and Seth ends up captured as well. Seth meets some very interesting fellow prisoners including someone with an unbelievable secret.

Can she be trusted? Perhaps the answer lies with a friend from the past.
