As the daughter of a noble Menuma lives a life of luxury with servants to fulfil every wish. She has every reason to look forward to her 18th birthday.

The only hope to save her family is to run away from home and leaving everything behind.  While on the run and looking for help she meets Pjotr, who is also changing his destiny. After his parents died he discovers he is not who he thought he was. A single coin is the only clue he has to start his journey of discovery. Following the clues he meets Menuma and rescues her from a dangerous situation. Both are looking for help from the Old Woman at the Lake and the magic people she belongs to. They discover not just who they are, they also try to thwart a conspiracy, prevent a war and find a dragon.
