Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium, sends Dejah Thoris on a scientific mission to chart air currents and atmospheric density tests. But Dekana Lor, Headmistress of the Royal Academy of Helium, hints at a second secret mission to the princess. And who is this handsome Red Martian prince and why is he suddenly part of the team?

The peace John Carter brought to Helium and Thark is new and fragile. On the eve of a Red & Green festival to balm age-old hatreds, Dejah Thoris is kidnapped. The ordeal triggers her lingering nightmares of abuse and helplessness at the hands of brutal Tharks. And the kidnapper is nightmare personified: Voro. He caters to a taste some green men never lost: the red meat of Helium women.

Dejah Thoris, obsessed with finding the legendary Gardens of Mars, recruits her own expedition team of scientists. But once outside the palace walls, things don't go as planned, and the Princess learns the hard way just how dangerous Barsoom really is.

Four hundred years before Carter's arrival on Mars, while Princess Dejah Thoris is on an archaeological dig, a young Woola discovers an ancient First Born artifact - one that harnesses an evil energy! Centuries later, the Earthborn warlord and his loyal pet recover the device, only to see its corrupting influence wash over the Red People of Helium. The escalating chaos culminates in the single most difficult challenge Woola has ever had to face: the decision whether or not to protect John Carter. Will the fiercely devoted calot resist his strongest instincts to save Barsoom's champion - or pay an infinitely worse price?
