With the tragic loss of their king, the future of the people of Radia looks grim, but there may be an answer: a sealed power is said to exist beyond the enemy's territory that only the prince can wield. With time running out, Alfred -- the heir to the kingdom -- and his best friend Wells must set out to find the sealed power before the enemy can get its hands on it...
