To find her way home, Alethia will have to learn to trust in the old tales, whose legends of Magic and daring hold the only hope of saving her kingdom.
These are Magic woods, home to fabled creatures whose existence she has always doubted.
When Alethia regains consciousness, an evil Lithmern with a face made of shadows is carrying her through the forest.
The Lithmern have kidnapped the princess.
But on the next night, she passes through a dark corridor on her way to the banquet hall, and never emerges from the shadows.

As the head of the Noble House of Brenn attempts to organize an alliance, the princess Alethia celebrates her twentieth birthday.
While the kingdom\'s noblemen squabble, on their borders an ancient enemy, the Lithmern, raises an army.
