Niko and the Sword of Light

Mandok accidentally releases Niko from a magical chrysalis. Instead of a fully-grown Champion of Carondolet, ghostly princess Lyra finds a ten year old boy. Lyra must lead NIko across the Bridge of Doom, but when the horrible Xerxes returns and attacks, Lyra has no choice but to put her faith in untested Niko.

Lyra must guide Niko, Mandok and Flicker through a deadly sky maze, past the fearsome Arachtaur, as a vicious three-headed monster stalks the team. When the quest almost fails, Lyra makes a tremendous sacrifice.

Niko's team reaches Carapace, the perfect hiding spot, only to discover the voracious Mugwhump In its place. Chompsky, Carapace's last citizen, helps Niko and Lyra face this bloated menace, and discover a better goal than hiding.

The Hill Giants send Niko and Lyra into the Shoodakooda Wood, where their greatest regrets become real. With the help of Niko and his Sword, Lyra puts her past behind her. Meanwhile, Mandok is captured by an enemy.

Niko, Lyra and Mandok help the Tumblebees fend off the terrible Prickletwister that has been terrorizing the town, and join forces with a mysterious traveler.
