There is one thing that all of us have in common-none of us knows what the future will hold. Life is full of unfortunate twists of events that change the course of our lives . . . forever. Starlighter is the sixteen-year-old heir to the throne of the mighty kingdom of Shonilian. In order to prove that he is a worthy suitor, he must face trails and test his capabilities. When his revenge-seeking uncle returns expectantly from exile, forcing him to run for his life, Starlighter's strength is put to a much greater test; one far more difficult than he could have ever imagined. His uncle's forces drive him into a dark forest where dangers untold lurk in every corner. Nobi and Rubis are twins, yet they are separated at birth when their mother, Helinka, leaves their father, Alo, and takes Nobi with her. Sixteen years after the separation, Nobi and her mother, who is an explorer, live on a lonely mountainside far away from civilization. Meanwhile, Rubis lives in poverty with his merchant father and everyday he grows restless, desiring a much more thrilling life. While both twins have gone through their dreary lives, not knowing about the other and always thinking of their dreams, they never suspect that on the same night their worlds would change forever. When Nobi's mother is taken by savages and Rubis is kidnapped by desert thieves, they both end up in the same forest. Soon Starlighter, Nobi, and Rubis are driven together by their own struggles and discover that they need each other in order to find their way out of the forest. The odds are definitely stacked against them with Starlighter's murderous uncle still in pursuit of the young prince. Their journey is not a pleasant one, but it is one that forges unbreakable bonds between the three of them.
