Mysterious happenings...
Prince Siegfried has just discovered that, in addition to his upcoming coronation as the new King of Validen, he is expected to find a wife and queen to go along with his crown. If that wasn't enough stress for any prince to manage, the appearance of menacing owl creatures and a mysterious young man who takes the form of a swan has his head spinning!

Now, Price Siegfried is back at home, but finds himself plagued by guilt over the loss of his father's sword and by the existence of the inexplicable lake and the young man there.

Meanwhile, Odet has resolved the use of the found sword to get rid of the owl creature threats while he has the chance.

A new twist on the classic tale of a prince, a swan, and a curse.
