Summary:
The Nomad takes on cargo and two passengers: Kundalini and his servant Masari. Among Kundalini 's belongings is a large chest that gives Bryn a psychic chill. One of the sailors, Ateeb, tries to warn Sinbad that Kundalini is a banished high priest and very dangerous. Later that night the sailor pays for his words with his life.
The next morning the crew finds Ateeb's burned body. Sinbad confronts Kundalini who uses his magical amulet to hypnotize the captain. He convinces Sinbad to sail to the uninhabited island of Rippon which is surrounded by a fierce currents. When the crew protests, Sinbad punches Doubar in the nose for disobeying orders.
Knowing something is wrong, Bryn gets past the lecherous Masari and into Kundalini's cabin where she finds the dead body of a young woman in the chest. She goes to the others and describes the snakes nesting on the lid of the box and a small green statue that Firouz identifies as the death goddess Mara. The crew goes to Sinbad who refuses to listen. He sends Doubar to the brig.
It's an ongoing struggle for Kundalini to keep control of Sinbad. A sailor, Strock, interrupts Kundalini's hypnotic therapy with the report that he heard something moving in the priest's cabin. As Kundalini hurries off, the disoriented Sinbad sends Strock to find Bryn. Strock is killed by the beautiful woman from Kundalini's cabin. With Bryn's help Sinbad breaks free from Kundalini. He fights his way through Masari and confronts the priest who tells that the body in the chest belongs to his daughter Ria. She is possessed by the deadly Mara and it takes all his magical abilities to keep her under control. He must take Ria to the deserted island of Rippon so Mara can no longer use his daughter's body as a murder weapon.
Sinbad agrees to help Kundalini and he and the crew navigate The Nomad through the deadly waters that surround the island. Ria escapes and uses her power to animate the dead bodies of Ateeb, Strock and Masari. She sends them after the crew. Bryn and Sinbad defeat Masari. Rongar and Doubar dispose of Ateeb and Strock but Doubar is wounded in the struggle.
As Firouz fights with the tiller, Ria turns into the sword-weilding green goddess Mara. The crew do their best to stop their invincible opponent, until Kundalini grabs the figure that was once his daughter and dives off the side of The Nomad into the churning waters, exorcising Mara out of Ria, but sealing her fate and his at the same time.
