Athena Thranduilson is on a mission with her father, the Elven king, Thranduil of Mirkwood, to help stop a war of another world. Of course, like some of her missions, they don't always go as planned. When three enemy Elvish guards come blasting into a bar with two fugitives, one of them a prince, and a "Stone-Keeper" tries to free them, then it is time to go out in the opening. That's when things get messy. Whisked away on a flying ship, Athena has to deal with Emily, the stone keeper, and help her control her amulet, her two brothers that smuggled themselves in a crate, and above all, trying to ignore Trellis, the traitor son of the enemy leader, which she feels little bubbles in her around him. Can Athena finish her mission while being the regal and loyal princess she is suppose to be, or will she admit in the end she likes Trellis?
Trellis betrayed his father and is now on the run with Luger, his father's former warrior, and seeks shelter in Nautilus, a town famous for being were most of the Air-ships land. Unfortunately, they are found by the guard and arrested. By luck, he is saved by Emily and two masked elves. He doesn't have respect to them, but that changes when the elves lift their masks. They reveal to be Thranduil and Athena, Thranduil's daughter. Trellis mind goes blank when she reveals herself, with her moon-white hair and her soft, milky-peach skin, and instantly falls for her, except...she don't like him. She is cold, always turning the corner and walks past him as if he is not there at all. He thinks she doesn't like him at all, but when Athena's brothers, Calenduil and Legolas, tell him that she actually likes him, but she is not easily won and determined to say loyal to her father and kingdom. Will he win her heart, or will it come crashing down?
