Zvonový hrad je to poslední místo, kam by se chtěl Randal na své cestě dostat. Jednak je to sídlo jeho dávného nepřítele lorda Fesse, a navíc je celé tohle místo zahaleno nějakým kouzlem. Jenomže Randal a jeho přátelé se zavázali, že sem doručí zlato, z něhož se má zaplatit mzda rytířům, kteří hrad obléhají. Brzy poté, co všichni dorazí ke Zvonovému hradu, zlato zmizí a Randal je obviněn, že ho ukradl. Nyní musí dokázat svou nevinu a navíc získat zlato zpět. Je nucen vstoupit do hradu a pokusit se porazit čaroděje, který mu znepříjemňuje život už od dob jejich společného studia magie... čaroděje, který může Randala a jeho přátele na hradě navždy uvěznit.
