One year after their first adventures in Narnia, the Pevensie children—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—are pulled back to the magical land, only to find that centuries have passed there. Narnia is now a wilder, more dangerous place, ruled by the Telmarines and their tyrannical King Miraz. The Old Narnians, including talking beasts and mythical creatures, have been driven into hiding, awaiting a savior. Their call is answered by Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the Telmarine throne, who has fled his uncle Miraz's murderous designs. Guided by the ancient dwarf Trumpkin and the faithful badger Trufflehunter, Caspian blows Queen Susan's magical horn, summoning the legendary High Kings and Queens of Narnia. Together, the Pevensies and Caspian must rally the remaining loyal Narnians, confront Miraz's army, and restore peace and freedom to Narnia, culminating in a climactic battle and the reappearance of the mighty lion Aslan.
