In the kingdom of Lantrevers, suffering is a way of life - unless you're a member of the ruling class. Princess Tilda plans to change all that.

But on the eve of her coronation, her younger brother, backed by a cabal of power-hungry lords, usurps her throne and casts her into exile. Now Tilda is on the run.
