Prince Damien has never known a life outside the castle. If he goes to town, it is with a royal escort. If he visits the people, it is with his royal guards. If he wants to see the Christmas lamps lit across the town, then it is from his window at the top of the tower. In short, Damien isn't like a normal kid.

But now that he is nearly thirteen, Damien is determined to get some independence, and when he escapes from the castle and finds a magic bracelet that can grant his every wish, it seems like his life is going to change for the better. How long will his newfound happiness last, however? And what will happen when the king comes looking for him?

All will be well, so long as he doesn't waste his Christmas wish...
