Lyle, a fifteen-year-old boy living in a peaceful valley, never expected to run into the lost and actively hunted children of royalty.  After tempting Lyle with the promise of a reward that could feed his family for years, the royal children induct Lyle into their mission to get home. With his skills of navigating the wilderness, Lyle leads the young royals through his land with only the knowledge of a general direction. Meanwhile, the group is tracked by men who would do anything to capture the children of their greatest enemy, the Queen of Ordivicia.
