A RAID ON THE CASTLE FOLLOWED BY ACTS OF DECIET AND BETRAYAL ARE IN STORE ON TWO CONSECUTIVE EPISODES OF ABC'S "THE QUEST"

"Under Siege" and "A Traitor in Saenctum" Air Thursday, August 28

A raid coupled with traitorous deeds threatens the safety of Everealm in two exhilarating back-to-back episodes of "The Quest," airing THURSDAY, AUGUST 28 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network. First, Castle Saenctum is in jeopardy when there is an enemy attack on the outer walls in "Under Siege." As danger looms, will the Paladins be prepared for the assault or must Ansgar be forced to intervene? One team will fail and must face the most grueling Fates challenge yet. The threat continues in "A Traitor in Saenctum," as a spy sent from the dark army infiltrates the castle. A demanding physical challenge tests both the focus and the diligence of the Paladins. While some succeed, others are left empty handed. Patience is tested in the challenge before the Fates ultimately leaving only six Paladins to continue the quest to be named the "One True Hero."

Who will be the next to join banished Paladins Katherine "Katie" Smaluk (26, Bartender from Chicago, IL), Ashley Guerrero (35, Horse Trainer from Murrieta, CA), Jim Curry (22, Student from Little Rock, AR) and the contestant banished on August 21? The Paladins vying to emerge as the "One True Hero" are: Shondo Blades (30, MMA Fighter from Houston, TX), Lina Carollo (27, School Counselor from Delran, NJ), Andrew Frazer (25, Personal Trainer from West Hartford, CT), Bonnie Gordon (28, Property Manager from Lafayette, LA), Patrick Higgins (41, High School Math Teacher from Joliet, IL), Jasmine Kyle (31, Mother and Homemaker from Media, PA), Adria Kyne (41, Marketing Director from Nashua, NH), Leticia Reyes (36, Executive Assistant from White Plains, NY) and Christian Sochor (23, Server from New York, NY).
