When the stubborn barbarian Brunhilde meets the arrogant princess Hope they find themselves locked together by destiny. Exiled from their homelands, one by curse and one by choice, they struggle to find respect and meaning in lands filled with magic, horror and wonder.

Their struggle forges friendship and shatters illusions, wakes ancient horrors and will one day break the sky in two.

Come, sit by the fire and listen to the tale of Hope the Bright Princess and Brunhilde the Red Sparrow.
