Unsatisfied with the troubadour lifestyle, Max dreams of becoming a knight. After a run-in with a thief Max and Uncle Budrick travel to Byjovia, Budrick's hometown, but when they arrive, it's not as Uncle Budrick remembers it.
When Uncle Budrick is held captive as King Gastley's jester, it's up to Max to rescue him from the castle's dungeon, with a little help from her newest pals, Simon, Millie, Kevyn, and world-renowned wizard, Mumblin.
Chaos ensues as Max & the Midknights try to break Uncle Budrick out of the castle before he is beheaded. With Mumblin's help, they narrowly escape King Gastley's clutches and later learn from Kevyn that King Conrad is alive!
As King Gastley searches the kingdom for Max and the others, Max & the Midknights learn about a prophecy and devise a plan to escape from Byjovia to find the missing King Conrad.
Knowing there's a prophecy written about her, Max feels confident that the Midknights' quest will be a success! Her confidence is dashed when Uncle Budrick is captured by a hungry chef and the Midknights face off with a pair of ferocious trolls.
After their near-disastrous run-in with the trolls, Max decides to play it safe and lead the Midknights down a seemingly serene garden trail. Unfortunately, Max's choice causes the quest to take a turn when the gang encounters an unexpected obstacle.
Max & the Midknights unwittingly make camp in a spooky graveyard and are surprised when terrifying zombies emerge from the ground and attack! They retreat to a cave, where they find a once-noble knight of Byjovia whose courage was magically stolen.
Max & the Midknights go to Fendra's cottage to retrieve Sir Gadabout's stolen courage. Once inside the cottage, Millie makes a surprising discovery, but their search for Sir Gababout's courage is interrupted when Fendra returns home.
After battling Fendra, Max is determined to get far away from the evil sorceress, even if it means leading the tired Midknights through a perilous snowy mountain. Unfortunately, this new journey has dire consequences for Max and her friends.
