After power-hungry archaeopteryx Kawaka attacks valley eaglet Dandelion's family, golden eagle prince Fleydur brings her into his society, where many consider her to be inferior. While she tries to belong, Kawaka and his allies plot to take over all of Sword Mountain, and it's ultimately up to Dandelion to stop them. A well-paced and exciting, if predictable, tale of an underappreciated character saving the day.
