Fifteen years ago, the castle was attacked and the king and queen were murdered. The criminals also intended to kill little princess Astra, heiress to the throne, but the monks managed to get her out safe and sound.
However, years passed and no one knew anything about Astra, so they all thought she was dead. Now Destrel, the second in the line of succession, is getting ready for the coronation, while Cyra, the youngest, rebels against all conventionalisms of the court, dreaming of living free.
But everything gets complicated when the rumours arrive - Astra is alive and she is coming back to claim the throne. They say that she has lived among the old gods, and that she has even made them a promise.
Three princesses, but only one of them will wear the crown.
