Fairytale meets Pilgrim’s Progress. Bad things begin to happen as a villain’s ambition grows. A young family forced from their home, become separated while on their journey to the city and protection of the High King. We chronicle the journeys they each must take through peril and hardship to find home again. The dad, Paul, goes to join the fight against the traitor. Along the way he learns about friendship without requirements and the help and encouragement of strangers who are people and mysterious animals. The mom, Beatrice, because of her stubbornness in not following her guide, loses her precious daughter Johanna. We sympathize with her as she learns to find her own happiness in difficult and sad times, to trust in the promises she is given, to believe she is not forgotten and that she will find her way home. Johanna, safe in the arms of the guide, is hidden away. Because she is affianced to the son of the High King, she becomes the center obsession of the terrible and evil Babur, King of Abbadon. He will possess her at all costs to his people and kingdom. In her new life, Johanna becomes, Perdita, a lost child who is adopted into a strange new family. Perdita comes of age as times in the kingdom grow to their apocalyptic climax. But she is not forgotten, or truly lost. Her guide and friend has never left her and soon the Prince, the son of the High King, comes to find her and bring her and her new family safely home. Traveling through a world where the very elements are a threat, Perdita learns not only how to love and be loved but also to value who she is as an adventurer and warrior, and who she is truly meant to be, the bride of the High King.
