The princess' horse bolts in fear, and her two loyal guards, Tanyon Fitherlew and Jakkon Kingerly, must race after her. In the confusion of the attack, a young dukeling there for the games, Tari Helyanwe, gets separated from her family and hopelessly lost in the forests.To survive, five youths must look past their personal differences to save all they know and love.
