North City’s Diana protects her family’s legacy with a bold bridal tournament: defeat her, and the victor will take both her hand and her house. Chris enters the Combat Tournament unexpectedly, accompanied by his daughter Fay, and shocks everyone when his hidden power wins him Diana in marriage. Yet peace doesn’t last. Puck comes to their home looking for trouble, and although Chris beats him in the tournament, the win only earns him more hostility from North City’s warriors.
When the Wood Banquet arrives, Chris first secures the Southern Sorceress’s favor for Diana. Then Master Bates pushes things too far, and Chris answers by revealing the Wood family’s final art—Judgement Day—proving he is Lord Wood. After delivering justice to the corrupt Bates family, he brings the danger facing House Grant to an end.
