Only a few weeks after saving the Kingdom of Rosenstaat from his depraved cousin, the beautiful and enigmatic Queen Amara requests Prince Destan's help once more. This time, Destan must venture forth from the familiarity of his homeland and travel across the globe to retrieve a rare type of fairy dust in a magical realm.Along his journey, Destan learns of the mysterious 'Koertig' and a plot far more sinister than he could have ever imagined. Friends turn against friends, and new enemies emerge, forcing Destan to face the inevitably harsh realities of duty and what it truly means to grow up.

Once upon a time, all was well in the Kingdom of Rosenstaat. Peace and prosperity reign, and a young Prince named Destan is preparing to become king-though that is the very last thing he wants. Destan yearns for freedom from his responsibilities and maybe even a little adventure... And that is exactly what he finds in the form of an ancient chest and a key which it does not open. However, Destan soon discovers that with adventure comes risk and peril. Destan must fight like he never has before against enemies within as well as without. In his quest to find the courage to take on his responsibilities he is swept away into a world filled with magic and fairy tales-things he thought only existed in books.Will he find the courage he so desires, or will he remain valour-less, losing everything-including himself-in its pursuit?

Months after his encounter with the Snow Queen, Destan finds himself longing for adventure once more. Word has spread about his triumph over Queen Isole, and everyone is calling him a hero-a wonderful achievement if only Destan believed that too. With the pressure of the crown looming closer with each and every day, Destan wonders what it would be like to cast aside his royal life and pursue the adventures that he longs for. Perhaps then he could prove to himself that he is truly a hero worthy of recognition. When his devious cousin returns with an olive branch and a new court magician, Destan's dream of a different life becomes a reality. However, like most magic, his wish comes at a precious price. In this frightening new world filled with suave mercenaries, obsessive witches, and blood-thirsty ogres, he can't be sure who he can trust-not even the people he used to call friends. Destan realises-a little too late-that he should have been more careful about what he wished for.
