The Adversary's forces have finished conquering the European-based Fable worlds and have now invaded the Arabian Fable worlds. In a remote outpost deep within the Arabian lands, one small group of goblin conscripts and a few of the Empire's elite wooden soldiers struggle to hold off one Arab attack after another.

Plot
Rodney, a wooden soldier of the Empire, falls in love with another wooden doll, June. Since they cannot do human things like kiss, Rodney sends a letter to his father, Geppetto for him to magically turn himself and June into human forms. Captain Arturo reads his letter before he can send it, and accuses Rodney of treason.
