The Kingdom of Glenfin has enjoyed a long peace under the rule of King Romlay. However, when the King is poisoned, the future of the kingdom and the life of the King rests in the hands of the Princess, Alexandra Romlay.
Always wishing for an adventure of her own, the Princess must now find a magical root that only grows on a place called the Island of the Dead. The Princess brings together a diverse group, including knights and archers from the kingdom with the help of a thief, wizard, an elf, two rangers and an undead, to help her in her quest to save her father's life. The unique group must cross the dark forest, the Swamp of Despair, the desert, the mountains, the snow lands and the Great Sea to reach the Island of the Dead.
As the group crosses the vast lands, the danger and tension grows with each passing day. Can the group hold itself together long enough to complete the quest and save the King or will they fall victim to the merciless lands?
