It is a dark time in the peace-loving kingdom of Sonnencrest. The country has been brutally conquered by the evil goblin empire of Globenwald. But out of this bleak state of affairs emerge two of the unlikeliest of heroes.
An eccentric little princess, Babette, escapes into the forest to learn the well guarded secrets of sorcery from the legendary good wizard, Asterux. Meanwhile, on the other side of Sonnencrest, a young man named Darrow, who is small, lame and has never held a sword, leaves his tiny village to raise an army and take back his land.
How can this pair possibly find the strength and courage to unite an entire nation and inspire others to join them?
