When the empire of Myrsguard fell to the mysterious Wooden King, one of the last men to escape brought a girl back with him, who he plans to raise to kill the King.

Kya hatches a plan to escape her fate, and flee to the only place her mentor fears, the Wooden Empire itself. However the Wooden Empire is a changing place, the population seemingly replaced by strange wooden creatures and their even stranger overseers.

Or will she become just another puppet of the Wooden Empire?
