In the midst of a hundred year war between Kingdom of Moranmoor and the Kingdom of Brutanna, the birth of a tiny baby began a series of ripples that would lead to great and miraculous things. Her birth was followed by two unfortunate events...the death of her beloved mother, Catherine, and the total rejection of her father.

What would become of this child? Would the place her Aunt Maud found for her in a simple country home provide love and companionship as she grew? Could this be the same home where Prince Julian had been brought three years before when he was a newborn? What would happen when the war comes to Moranmoor? Would they be safe in the castle? Who would be lost?

Caught up in the ripples of war, pride, and family confilct, Bella and Prince Julian are swept into a magical adventure that once again proves God is beside us, bringing courage, guidance, and miracles to those who believe.
