Prophecies can be a pain. Nobody knows this better than Fier- who has been charged with the protection of an all powerful stone and the safety of the realm all his life. Now he's been thrown into a dungeon with little hope of escape, relying on his grace and charm to outwit a sorcerer who's seen it all before. The good news is- he has a magic mirror that will enable him to speak to his knight in shining armor. The bad news is that the knight is dead and by horrible happenstance is now replaced by a bumbling, head in the clouds girl named Audrin Plow. The lives and stories of several characters intertwine for both a physical and spiritual (or at the very least -hopefully- amusing) adventure.
