Winter arrives unnaturally early and the townsfolk go hungry. Tess and her new friends along with Sara's wannabe lover Tom travel together in hopes of learning who she is, but are stunned to find a ghost town whose crops and food supply were poisoned. Rumors are heard that a powerful mage gathers other mages to him so he can harness their power in a quest to conquer the world. He apparently is calling Tess to come to him, but Sara hears him too which means she and Tess are mages as well. The magnificent six knows they must battle the malevolent mage, but remain clueless that beyond this dimension the Chained One uses the evil sorcerer as a puppet for his mysterious malignant purposes.
