After a revolution overthrows the King of Durian the only member of the royal family to survive is sixteen year old Sarai, who finds herself a Queen without a country. She is protected in a remote fortress by the remnants of her father's royal guard, a force made up of both humans and mighty talking animals, such as a fox standing four feet tall at the shoulders named Rhyn, and the eight foot praying mantis named Quoto. Among the leaders of these elite soldiers is Sentrus, a man who feels too young to lead and carries the guilt of letting his sovereign die.Nearby, a young boy lives with his father on the outskirts of civilization. As the soldiers of the revolution approach the Queen's final stronghold, he stumbles upon the kidnapping of Queen Sarai by a rival nation. Thrown together by fate, Tem, Sentrus and a small team of friends struggle to reach Sarai before a hideous fate can befall her. On the way, they will fight terrifying golden eagles and manmade monsters who never seem to die. Above all, they will face their own fears and find courage in each other.
