But Prince Drago has secrets of his own, and a heart of wickedness that no amount of good magic can brighten. Dark days cloud Brightalia, and only one last hope remains before total devastation. Can Martina and her friend defeat the evil that lurks throughout their land? Or are the days of their beloved kingdom over forever? Only one thing is certain—time is running out…
