As Moonray gathers her team to find Xak and the Glaive of Gladiolus, including skilled archers and spellcasters, they embark on a flight aboard great hawks to search for Xak, who is entangled in a series of perilous adventures at sea. Meanwhile, Xak and his companions face threats from pirates and sea monsters, including a leviathan that attacks their ship.

The climax involves intense battles against the Dracton Extractor, a formidable foe, as well as the emotional turmoil of losing friends and allies. Ultimately, the story explores the bonds between characters and their struggles against overwhelming odds in a richly imagined fantasy world filled with magic, and danger.
