A NOT VERY HEROIC PRINCE who can't decide between two sisters. A KING WHO HAS BEEN LYING TO HIS PEOPLE and will do everything in his power to keep the magic in the world. A GRUMPY WIZARD with mysterious reasons to partner up with a GOOD-HEARTED WARRIOR to go against the king and change a millennial tradition.
