Randall and his friends are hired to protect a group of history scholars led by Doctor Van, who are traveling to the Foxwoods to study the legendary fox Reynard. Randall is concerned since part of the Foxwoods lies in his home, the Duchy of Lakehurst, which is now under the control of Duke Albert, who has been acting like the Warlord of Wildomar, who raised him.

But turns out his bigger issue is the troubling dreams, dreams where he takes on the role of the legendary fox, who organized the foxes of the Foxwoods a century before Uther's conquest to protect all the creatures from an earlier invader.
