Synopsis

Cristine, the princess and heir to the enchanted world of Chrysanth has been kidnapped as a small child and exiled to a world very much like our own. She is forced through bogus psychotherapy to recall unspeakable abuse at the hands of her family. At the age of seventeen, emotionally scarred by these false memories, she is rescued by Sir Quentin from her imprisonment. But reaching her true home brings Christine no solace, as her arrival spurs the enemies of the realm to desperate measures which culminate in a war filled with monsters, heroes, magicians and epic confrontations.
