In an ancient time, a beautiful princess is on a secret mission to gather rare herbs for her shamans. When her party strays into a strange kingdom, they are ambushed and she is taken prisoner. She is put to work, scanning the dark skies for omens that her captors fear. One night, she sees the most feared one of all—The Harbinger. It foretells certain doom for the kingdom that has imprisoned her. As soon as she announces the sighting, however, she is taken to report to . . . the King, a man who will change her life.
