Part 1

As war descends on Dennon and Renoria, Edith's father is taken hostage and Edith naively takes it upon herself to rescue him, traveling blindly in a foreign land, braving the wrath of an evil king, and deliberating what is just a story and what is the truth. Through a series of adventures and misfortunes, including stealing from a king, meeting mythical creatures, outrunning ogres, sailing the sea, and confronting decades of hate on the battlefield, she challenges her understanding of the world, her family, and herself, vividly transforming as she discovers reconciliation, persuasion and love.
