The sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace, and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus.
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas recap
Sinbad and his pirate crew attack a ship carrying the Book of Peace, which protects the twelve cities, and find it guarded by Proteus, prince of Syracuse and Sinbad's childhood friend. Eris, goddess of discord, sends a sea monster, and Sinbad is dragged overboard. Eris then steals the Book disguised as Sinbad, and he is sentenced to death. Proteus takes his place as a hostage while Sinbad goes to recover it, with ten days before Proteus is executed. Proteus' fiancee Marina stows away to make sure Sinbad keeps his word. The crew sail to the edge of the world, past sirens, a giant fish and a monstrous bird sent by Eris, and Sinbad and Marina fall in love. They reach Tartarus, Eris' realm, where she offers a test.
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas ending explained
Eris asks Sinbad whether he would go back to Syracuse to die if he fails; he says yes, and she declares he lied. Sinbad returns anyway and kneels for the execution, proving he told the truth. Eris, bound by her word, is forced to return the Book, and Proteus is saved. Proteus releases Marina from the engagement, and she sails off with Sinbad.
