A simple hen-herdess with the uncanny abilities to run faster than mortals and strike any target of her choosing, Jia learns that the sorcerer who removed her heartstrings-the physical embodiment of her will-has a larger purpose: to enslave all in the land of Ckelnor and the Southern lands. A series of alarming events sets her and her two ducklings on the quest for freedom both for herself and the free peoples of Ckelnor. The only problem is that her heartstrings fall into the hands of the enemy, and the holder of her heartstrings can control her will. Can Jia resist the call on her heartstrings and stop Ckelnor's enemy before it's too late?
