In an environment of principalities, adventures and mysteries, this epic tale takes place in Doggerrland, the Land of the Great Danes, a world in which its inhabitants live in perfect harmony with their Creator and other creatures, until the day that Gandra the king of Doggerrland is put to the test through the instrumentality of Mad-ellia, a creature from another world.

Promising him absolute power and supremacy in the world in which they live, Mad-ellia puts in doubt the truths contained in the Book of Life and convinces the king to disobey its teachings, awakening in him the oldest wishes of all civilizations: vanity and greed. The king's decision will have devastating consequences, not only for himself, but for all his subjects...

However, even before these events take place, a strange messenger is sent to Maxim, a young peasant girl from Harlewoods Province, declaring that she has been chosen for the mission of saving her world from the harmful effects of a cursed world that lies in another dimension, beyond her own.
