The Dunshelm Players produces a series of audio dramas based on the British children's television program Knightmare. The program featured children entering a fantasy world and interacting with characters and surviving attacks by monsters. The audio dramas feature the fictional characters portrayed in the television series.
Links between the Twentieth Century and the era of the Dungeon have been dormant for several years, but the civil war between 'The Powers-That-Be' and 'The Opposition' continues. Caught between the two forces in the conflict are the Grey Sisterhood, now resident in the new colony of Ambrohame.
Desperate to renew her people's dwindling powers, the Witch Queen Greystagg sends an emissary, Heggatty, to seek out new sources of witch amber. During her mission, Heggatty is attacked by the Opposition, and needs Treguard and Stiletta to come to her aid.
Caught in a situation where combat is impossible, Treguard and his mortal enemy, Lord Fear, must each battle with words to induce terror in the other to decide the fate of the Grey Sisters… with the balance of the entire war resting on the outcome.
The fourth era of the Dungeon Of Deceit is imminent, and it is a time of change; the Dungeon is growing fast and far beyond its old boundaries, while some of the mightiest of its occupants, both light and dark, are coming into conflict. When old alliances are broken by treachery and greed, fresh alliances are formed as new protagonists emerge, until five distinct factions – four of them forces for evil and only one of them a force for good – take shape. Of these, it is the faction controlled by the sorceress Malice that takes the initiative.
While the Dungeon Master, Treguard of Dunshelm, tries to remain impartial and above the conflicts raging in the Greater Game, the war leads to chaos, death, and a new dominant evil that he simply must range his forces against.
Confusion is certain…
