Krum and her brother Jebb became orphans when their family's cottage is burned and their parents are killed by the fearsome dragon, Malcifer. One day, while working for a slave-master in his lumber yard, the children meet an ancient oak tree, named Lord Sirion, who captures them. Krum and Jebb are not there long when they see a dragon attack and burn a strange airship out of the sky. They selflessly risk their lives to rescue the sole survivor of the crash, Princess Chelemba of the Golden House. They then embark on a long, thrilling journey to take Chelemba north to Catalya, the capitol of Cornucopia, from where she can return to her father's kingdom in the sky. Together they will face forest trolls, an army of Wickers and, of course, Malcifer. In order to succeed on her quest, Krum will face her greatest fears and discover the truth about her unusual gift of Far Sight and learn to master it.
