Synopsis
In this fantasy adventure through mist, myth and magic, the conflicts are both external and internal as the voyagers make a passage into self-discovery. A strong young queen, her castle and lands of Meaghan are threatened by an impending ice age. In an ancient manuscript, the queen reads of a mystical flame burning in a cave on the island of Aalmauria. Queen Meaghan summons Captain Taran and his ship, the Dragonfly, to sail her to the island of Aalmauria to steal the enchanted flame. The journey proves almost impossible due to mistrust among the shipmates. The magician sets a spell on the feuding captain, mate, queen and daughter—and leads the crew safely through the Isles of Mist to the enchanted isle of Aalmauria. There they must face the beast and hag-witch to pass into the cave. It is there that they confront the awesome power of the flame itself. But once the flame is secured, jealousies flair again, and only the act of laying down one's sword will calm the angry flame and allow the crew to safely reach their frozen land.
