About This Book

The narrative opens with fairies weaving a magic cloak whose possession sets off political and magical conflicts across neighboring realms. Episodes follow a boy who becomes king of Noland, his sister the princess, their allies including Aunt Rivette and loyal servants, and the witch-queen of Ix as the cloak is gifted, misused, stolen, and sought in disguises and battles. Councils, sieges, monsters, and aerial adventures unfold before a search recovers the cloak, monstrous threats are defeated, and supernatural forces intervene to restore order, concluding with returns and reconciliations among the kingdoms.
