Dan Regal has always been alone, having been left on the steps of an orphanage when he was only a baby. He has never had any visitors, nor made any true friendships with the other children at the orphanage. Aside from this utter, inescapable aloneness, Dan Regal is an entirely normal, unremarkable young boy. But all of that is about to change...

After another short summer reprieve, Dan's classmates return to Snisnar to face their darkest year at school yet. The Scorpion is still at large, and now the students of Snisnar are disappearing at an alarming rate. Worst of all, Dan is the prime suspect for the mysterious kidnappings. As the school's faculty suffers strain from within, Dan finds himself in a race against time to find out who the Scorpion has currently possessed, and what he is planning to do with the kidnapped students. Will Dan be able to solve the mystery before it's too late to save the missing students?

After nearly being killed by the disembodied Scorpion at the end of the previous school year, Dan Regal has more than earned a quiet summer alone at Snisnar - his solitude interrupted only for private lessons each morning with Mr. Loeren on the bank of the school pond. But his reprieve is not destined to last, and in September the other students return to Snisnar to commence their studies. Almost as soon as the rest of the school has returned, strange things begin to happen (strange even for Snisnar), and before long, it becomes quite clear that the Scorpion did indeed survive his encounter with Dan last spring, and has set himself to killing Dan once and for all. As if having the Scorpion after him were not enough, there is also a new teacher at the school who makes Ms. Virgus look like a cute, cuddly long-eared jerboa - and this teacher seems to have it in for Dan and his friends. There are also whispers going around the school of a long-lost heirloom of Steven Noricin's; a goblet that, according to legend, has the power to grant immortality to its drinker, and it seems as if the Scorpion is now seeking out this relic so that it may aid him in his return to power. Will Dan be able to find the Gottlehrling Goblet before the Scorpion gets his hands on it?

The Scorpion has returned, and now no one, Comman or Norcinite alike, is safe. Outside of the safe walls of Snisnar, the Scorpion is mounting his attack on the Old Race, and is taking out anyone who stands in his way. As Dan prepares to face his final year at Snisnar, Mr. Loeren begins preparing Dan for the danger that awaits him beyond the protective walls of Steven Noricin’s school. But not even the wise Mr. Loeren can prepare Dan for what he is about to face...
