Daystar, Cimorene's son, is sent into the Enchanted Forest with his father's sword to free the King (his father) from entrapment in the castle. Daystar doesn't know any of this. All he knows is that after a wizard came to his and his mother's house, Daystar is sent into the forest with a magical sword.

Along the way to find the Kazul, the King of Dragons, Daystar meets a fire-witch, a young dragon, a witch, a few wizards, and more. Some want to help and others want to steal the sword for its power.

Will Daystar be able to free his father from the castle? Will Cimorene be able to return to the castle as its Queen? In this exciting and quirky conclusion to the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Wrede continues her twist on fairy tales. This is a great series for anyone who likes fantasy, dragons, or princesses.
