After seeing Jonathan, Orvar and the soldiers disappear, Crusty meets some people he recognises. It’s Sofia, Hubert and… Jossi! Sofia still doesn’t know that Jossi is the traitor! When Crusty reveals him, Jossi flees into the mountains. Then they set off for Wild Rose Valley again, because now the day has come – the Day of the fights. Many cries are heard in Wild Rose Valley that day, but one unlike any other. Katla has arrived – an ancient female dragon who can paralyse anyone with her fire and who only listens to Tengil’s battle horn.

Soldiers everywhere are looking for Jonathan Lionheart. But the people conceal him and sing secret songs about “Jonathan, our saviour” to save them from the tyrant. In Wild Rose Valley, Crusty and the soldiers arrive at a small house where an old man is standing. His name is Mattias and he realises that Crusty is in trouble. So he pretends to be Crusty’s grandfather to save him from the soldiers. But Mattias is also hiding a secret, a secret that Crusty will soon discover.
