"In the kingdom of Antrevers, suffering is a way of life--unless you're a member of the ruling class. Princess Tilda plans to change that. As the rightful heir of the late King Ronan, Tilda wants to deliver her people from famine and strife. But on the eve of her coronation, her younger brother, backed by a cabal of power-hungry lords, usurps her throne and casts her into exile. Guided by strange visions, Tilda decides to take back her kingdom. With the help of her last remaining allies, the wise Tankred and the loyal Bertil, she travels in secret through the hinterland of her kingdom. Wherever she goes, the common folk whisper of a legendary bygone era when all men lived freely. There are those who want to return to this golden age--at any cost. In the midst of revolution, how can Tilda reclaim her throne?"--Back cover.
