With the enigmatic sorcerer Cholorus questioning their fate, Rip must act fast when night falls—leading a desperate escape that ends with him, Bonnie, and Corky sentenced to the dreaded Valley of Monsters.

In "Captives of the Medieval Sorcerer, Chapter 1," Rip, Jo, and Corky are stranded in the year 960 after a favor to Professor Blakeslee lands them in the island kingdom of Rittannia. Captured by King Gamina and his guards, they face a chilling decision when the sorcerer Cholorus questions why they haven’t been cast into the Valley of Monsters—only to be reminded that the king rules by the Code of Ritannia. As night falls, Rip makes a desperate break for freedom, but his escape is spotted, sealing their fate: to be thrown into the Valley of Monsters.
In "Chapter 2: The Valley of the Monsters," the Time Masters navigate a treacherous landscape teeming with bizarre creatures—among them a towering water lizard, a horned beast, and a porcupine-like monster—each step a test of survival. As they reach the valley’s end and return to their time sphere, they’re stunned to find King Gamina bound and imprisoned within it, a mystery that deepens their journey.
In "Chapter 3: The Sorcerer's Siege," Rip and his companions race to expose the truth: the king they've been serving is an impostor, Dr. Senn, who's been manipulating events from behind the throne. With Cholorus and his sorcerous forces marching on the city, magic and steel collide as Rip must act fast to stop the invasion.
