120 years after its founding, Valderia is a powerful kingdom. Always under the threat of assault from enemies, the wise king does his best to protect his citizens and young family. When violence divides the royal family, one young prince must step up and fight for his kingdom.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “In September 2023, Grimm & Co's Saturday Afternoon Club began the journey of their novellas and extended writing projects. In the sessions over the next year, they worked hard on their writing, using their imagination to grow their ideas from nothing. They received advice from their novella buddies and authors which was reflected back in their writing. We are incredibly proud of all the young people's work, and hope in many years to come they look at their published writing with pride and fond memories.
