On the run from the class bullies, Trick finds himself transported to the mystical Wildlands, a place where the greatest warriors throughout history have been summoned to fight in a battle for survival - from Romans and Vikings to Knights and Samurai!

A cryptic old man known as Kalaban tells Trick that he's there for a reason - to deliver the Wildlands from the evil overlord Boneshaker, who rules with an iron fist and an army of terrifying minions. Trick has been chosen to form a band of the seven greatest warriors to defeat this terrible enemy.

Assembling his personal army of proud, dangerous warriors to fulfill this epic quest is easier said than done. But for Trick the stakes couldn't be higher: if he doesn't defeat Boneshaker, he'll never see his home again...
