Keď mu jedného dňa utečie veštecké prasa Hen Wen a Taran zazrie v tajomnom lese Parohatého kráľa z kráľovstva zla, Annuvinu, začína sa jeho veľká odysea, ktorá si vyžiada veľa statočnosti a odvahy. Neskúseného Tarana na dobrodružnej ceste sprevádzajú verní priatelia: bájny princ Gwydion, bystrá dcéra morského kráľa Eilonwy, potulný spevák Flewdur Fflam, dobrácky Gurgi aj šikovný trpaslík Doli. Spoločne prekonávajú nástrahy čarodejnice Achren v Špirálovom hrade a prefíkaného vládcu čierneho jazera, bojujú proti nesmrteľným Kotlivcom a unikajú pred pazúrmi gwythaintov, aby si napokon zmerali sily s diabolským Parohatým kráľom. Iba víťazstvo nad ním môže zachrániť Prydainiu pred večnou záhubou.
