V nore Pod ostružinou všetko spalo, keď bard po prstoch vyšiel zo svojej komôrky. V hlave mu ešte doznieval sen o gormských vranách, ešte počul strašidelný škripot ich železných krídel. Bard musí odísť, Pod ostružinou sa zdržal pridlho, hoci vie, že je to preňho nebezpečné. Tentoraz však nebude putovať sám. Pôjde s ním jeho nový učeň, jeden z náčelníkových synov. Malý Ru pozorne počúva bardove príbehy a očarený legendou o Podkinovi Jednouchom zatúži stať sa rozprávkarom.

Bard zdvihol hlavu a pozrel na postavy, čo ho obstali. Mali čierne plášte s kapucňami a pod nimi dlhé habity. Od masiek z vyleštených kostí ozdobených vyrezávanými špirálami a runami sa odrážalo slnko a z priezorov ho pozorovali tri páry chladných, ľahostajných očí. „Áno,“ prikývol, „sú to tanečnice nad kosťami, ale ušetri si nadšenie, Ru. Prišli ma zabiť.“ Tanečnice nad kosťami odvedú barda a jeho malého učňa Rua do svojho chrámu na Kostibradle a bardovi prikážu, aby im rozpovedal príbeh, pre ktorý ktosi žiada jeho hlavu. Podkin, Paz a Puk sa opäť ocitnú v nebezpečenstve, hrozí, že prídu o svoj nový domov. Gormovia útočia na samotný les, aby z neho vzdorovité králiky vyhnali. Temravčania sa chcú postaviť na odpor, no zachrániť ich môže jedine magický luk Vrabčieho Dolu. Presvedčia tamojšieho náčelníka, aby sa posvätného daru vzdal? Vydajú sa za ním, na ceste hlbinami Chmúrneho lesa však striehne zrada...

V dávnych časoch boli králiky maličké ustráchané zvieratká a bývali v obyčajných dierach a tuneloch. Odvtedy sa však králičie nory rozrástli na celé dediny a mestečká ukryté pod zemou. Podkin, syn náčelníka Munbury, nie je žiadny hrdina a na deň, keď sa bude musieť postaviť na čelo kolónie, nechce ani pomyslieť. Väčšinu času preleňoší, podpichuje svoju staršiu sestru Paz a hrá sa s bračekom Pukom. Keď Munbury prepadnú krvilační Gormovia, súrodencom sa podarí ujsť. Život si zachránia, no nebezpečenstvo číha na každom kroku. Podkin vie, že musí ochrániť brata a sestru a v boji proti strašnému nepriateľovi vyrastie z lenivca a ľahtikára vodca.
