After the mother of 12-year-old princess Wren disappears, King Belodawn seems to blame his daughter for the disappearance and avoids her. When Wren is befriended by the son of the castle cook, she believes she will find a way to escape her loneliness. Daring to leave the kingdom of Greenham, Wren ventures out to Shaw where she is confronted with a task so impossible, she will need something beyond her own strength to carry her through.
