Behind the luxurious walls of an island palace, Prince Akiiki's life is peaceful—but that peace is shattered when he is kidnapped and, under dark of night, taken into the unforgiving brush. Forced to survive in the harsh environment as well as the ever-present threat of danger, it's not long before he loses hope of ever seeing his home again. He is saved by a traveling shaman who agrees to help him find his way back to the palace. But there is more to his new companion than meets the eye and soon he is thrust into a new world, one that teaches him the truth about not only the world in which he lives but also the world that lives within him.
