They battle Silas, who wants to unleash the Umbra, but are betrayed by Mrs. Abernathy. In the Blackwood Mine, they confront illusions and Silas, leading to Samantha becoming tainted by the Umbra. The Obsidian Circle, a hidden society, emerges, manipulating events and targeting Samantha. She flees, encounters Lyra (a Circle member), and is eventually reunited with her sisters.

Ryszard loves Saxonia and desires to save the kingdom from the evil king. The miller's daughter, Galiana Mueller, agrees to help expose the king's terrible, selfish ways. As Ryszard spins gold for her to tempt the king with, he cannot help falling in love with her himself. The king soon demands Galiana's hand, wishing for more straw-spun-gold, more wealth, and more power. As he becomes corrupt entirely, Ryszard must utilize a power stronger than his magic, that of love or perhaps hope.
