A tyrannical ruler, consumed by delusion, defies the law of Apollo and plunges his kingdom into darkness. Amidst the terror that ensues, a Fairy Princess emerges, wielding extraordinary power to heal the land and its people. “It is required you do awake your faith!” cries Paulina, the witch, as the dead return to life in this magical tale of hope and forgiveness.
