Queen Charlotte, the Queen of Falconia and her husband King Philip have just had triplets. It should be a time of celebration, but old enemies have reappeared and two of the babies are magically interfered with. Thirteen years later the enemies are back, and the two children fall into a coma from which no normal cure is known. Thus begins a quest of unlikely allies journeying across half the world to find the Chalice of the Dawn; the only object in the world that can save them, together with a very strange potion.
This is an exciting tale full of strange creatures, dark magic, armies of dwarfs and men, battles on land and adventure at sea. Will the unlikely allies be able to find the Chalice and return with it to Falconia and save the children? And if so, will the potion work?
