The adolescent Puck lives on his dilapidated farm with his family, and despite the land being actually owned by the nobility, Puck and his family are free to do as they will. This changes, however, when the family's patch of rare, naturally growing flora fails to sprout.
When agents of the royal family come to collect the bounty that does not exist, Puck makes a move that will change his young life forever. Fleeing from the mess he has made, the adolescent runs from home, moves to the closest town and makes some new friends. His troubles continue, however, and soon Puck and his friends set off on a journey where further trouble arises, terrible beasts and people threaten the young party, and the homeless Puck is faced to make terrible decisions that someone of his age should never have to make.
What's more, a war beckons in the capital, and Puck risks being drawn into a conflict that may very well claim his life.
