Drawn together by an enchanted summons, three loyal friends - Bear, Dwarf, and Otter - bid farewell to their fair home in the kingdom of Lorini and embark on a magical journey to the fabled World Beyond Time. A place where glows the ageless Circle of Light. Along the way they meet many marvellous friends, including the mighty wizard Grayfax Grimwald. But little does the trio realise the dangers that await them: the gloomy border of the Northerland...the green fires of the Palace of Darkness...evil spells and dark enchantments...the dread city of Humans and - most fearsome of all - the evil Dark Queen.
