People often feel the need to pass on to their descendants the objects that tell the story of their past. This is exactly what three young individuals living in first-century AD Roman Britain decided to do.
A princess, daughter of a queen who ruled the largest and most powerful kingdom in the northern lands, entrusts her female relatives with the royal rod, a symbol of her mother's power. Her brother, the prince, requests that the royal ring be passed down to his descendants. Meanwhile, a young Celtic girl, wearing a medallion engraved with the image of the first Roman to ever invade their land, ensures that her descendants know the story of the brave ancestor who earned this honor.
Centuries later, these three objects reappear in the same land. A little princess discovers a slender stick in the corner of an old castle and wonders if it could be a magic wand. A young shepherd is gifted an engraved medallion and an ancient metal ring, only to be told that he is a prince--the sole survivor of a kingdom conquered by invaders from across the sea.
The mystery of the rod, the medallion, and the ring unfolds through the stories of Little Princess Lamb and Fredric, Young Fredric and Deoran, and Epona and Valens.
