Princess Jeniah wants to heal her ill mother and believes the magic within Dreadwillow Carse can do that, but her visiting the bog is prophesied to end the monarchy. Jeniah enlists a peasant girl, Aon, to go in her stead, only to eventually follow after Aon in search of the Carse's darkest secrets. A quick-paced fairy tale centered on friendship, loyalty, and adventure.
