Despite King Arthur's misgivings, Valiant sets sail for the Misty Isles in order to bring King Hugo back to talk peace with Camelot. The mission affords Valiant the chance to get closer to Princess Aleta, which does not sit well with Rowanne. This delicate situation is made more tenuous when Rowanne suggests that Valiant plot a faster course through rough waters. What happens when this new course is taken puts the ship's passengers in more danger than Rowanne intended.
