Sydney drags Nigel along on an ill-prepared quest for the legendary saddle that allegedly gave 15th century warrior princess Kahina the power to unite the tribal clans of Bekkastan and rule it gloriously. The Bekken tribe fell apart again, but amazon Haya, who is Kahina's spitting image, claims to revive the throne, so the saddle would be the perfect asset. While Sydney pursues horse thief Tobar, Haya practically seduces Nigel to help her find it, but he also meets Sarkan, the evil 'vizir' behind her prospective throne, who plots to seize power once she has it. Sydney learns that Tobar is Haya's twin brother, banished by Sarkan's doing, but nobly fit to rule. They make friends and rejoin the cave dig, where they and Nigel must deal with the divided Bekkens and Kahina's legacy.
