Cynric, King of Demelza, is haunted by his past. In an effort to
escape it, he wields a powerful sword, commanding his dragon
lizards and a malevolent thylacine, to wreak havoc throughout the
realm. Villages are burning and innocent creatures are dying.
Erik and Emma, two young marsupials, and Devon, an orphaned red
fox, are on their own personal quests; two to save a life, one to
destroy another. When their paths cross, these natural enemies
forge an unusual friendship. Soon they hear of the devastation
caused by the evil king and they realize that their personal
objectives must be put aside. Even though that decision will affect
their own lives, and the lives of the ones they love, they are
determined to help their fellow creatures. They put themselves at
risk by joining a motley crew of animals, whose main objective is
to end the reign of King Cynric.
A final battle will take place in the shadow of Fortress Demelza
as the king's forces clash with this rag tag band of creatures from
the countryside. The fate of Sunderland and its inhabitants is at
stake.
