Stuck in her bedroom while her parents argue, a young girl spins up a fantastical tale.  Prince Taèr is returning home with his new bride, but the path is treacherous.  Fearsome monsters (and a monstrous stepmother) have wreaked havoc on the once peaceful Kingdom of Tilan.

Soon, the young lovers are intercepted by a powerful monster, intent on testing their love.  Separated and cursed, Princess Dardanè is transformed into a man, and Taèr into a Blue Monster.  Desperate to reunite, Dardanè must overcome many challenges, and Taèr must convince her to love him despite his hideous new shape…before the sun sets and they lose their loves forever…
