Shuna, the prince of a poor land, watches in despair as his people
work themselves to death harvesting the little grain that grows
there. And so, when a traveler presents him with a sample of seeds
from a mysterious western land, he sets out to find the source of
the golden grain, dreaming of a better life for his subjects. It is
not long before he meets a proud girl named Thea. After freeing her
from captivity, he is pursued by her enemies, and while Thea
escapes north, Shuna continues toward the west, finally reaching
the Land of the God-Folk. Will Shuna ever see Thea again? And will
he make it back home from his quest for the golden grain?
