Synopsis

When the sacred royal dawn ceremony is attacked and their parents are taken prisoner by the ruthless Sedahs, brother and sister Ethan and Lily escape into the forest with their dog, Aisha. Using their courage and talents, they rescue Princess Roana and their best friend Saxon from the invaders. Together the four children set off on horseback on a dangerous quest to save their parents and the Queen and Prince Caspar and to find the magical gems of the Royal Sun Sword, which have been hidden, leaving the land of Tiregian powerless.
