Book excerpt: Theodore and Arlen have heard that the one true King lives in the castle at the top of the mountain, but they have never seen him. Arlen wants the King to punish his father for being so cruel to him and Theodore has read that the law of the land is "Love the King"--and how can she love him, if she doesn't know him? As they set off for the castle, the children are unaware of the danger awaiting them.
