At school Brian gets into a fight with Robbo, the school bully, a grandson of the local gangster. Brian also runs a band but his brother, as band manager, is using the band as cover to make deliveries for Polar Bear, the local gangster and drug lord.
As Champion Brian is required to do battle with the Engapmahc. And when the Engapmahc captures the Faerie Queen, Brian must undertake the rescue.
At the same time, Druid Lochlain is on the run in Boston USA but is located by the Drimnagh Witches. How does the Faerie Queen end up as his prisoner whilst still the prisoner of the Engapmahc?

Brian's normal life complicates when he has to bring Maedbh home. Also Robbo's grandfather decides that Brian should be killed as Robbo's first hit as a trainee gangster.
