Synopsis
Inos, the daughter of the late king of Krasnegar, is kidnapped through a magic casement just as invading imp legions overrun her small kingdom. She finds herself a prisoner in a desert land ruled by a woman of humble origins who has magical talent and political ambitions. Unknown to Inos, the loyal stable boy Rap has followed her through the casement, but he lands in the jungles of Faerie, far from her. Determined to rescue his queen, he must face monsters, headhunters and a paranoid, evil sorcerer, while Inos tries to find a way home to claim her kingdom.
