'My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain.'” 'Look, father, the Elf-King is close by our side!ĭo you not see him, with crown and with train?' Lilia has only a few days to search every inch of the castle and find the jewel-or Kai will be lost to her forever. The castle where it is hidden has been overrun with princess hopefuls trying to pass a magical test that will determine the prince's new bride. The only way for Lilia to break the spell and save Kai is to find a jewel of ancient power that lies somewhere in the North Kingdoms. To Lilia's horror, Kai falls under an enchantment cast by the Elf King's beautiful daughter. As their quest leads the threesome through the mysterious and sinister Bitra Forest, they suddenly realize they are lost in the elves' domain. With her best friend, Kai, and his sister, Karina, beside her, Lilia heads north to find the family she's never known. Refusing to accept that dreadful fate, she decides to flee. Still, she hardly deserves to be sold off to the mean-spirited miller and his family. In fact, she's terrible! She daydreams, she breaks dishes, and her cooking is awful. Twelve-year-old Lilia is not a very good servant.
