In the wildest and most isolated county of the kingdom, two thrones of power determine the lives of three generations of lords from the Drakon family: Maximus, Valtemar, and Mattia, characters so different yet so similar. And beside them, their women, sometimes as absolute rulers and sometimes as shadows, manipulate the actions of their husbands.

Power, love, passion, intrigue, betrayal, hatred, conspiracy, commercial ambitions, political agreements, wars, tortures, and murders shape their history in the inaccessible castle of the Drakons, with its well-hidden secrets, built in the most inaccessible point of the vast dense forest. And there, in the heart of this forest, hides a mythical creature that observes everything but intervenes only when its land is threatened.

A fantastic journey that starts from the frozen North and reaches Venice and Genoa of the 16th century, bringing magic from fairy tales into reality. Because even today, magic exists. Who will prevent the great child hidden within us from seeking their fairyland? Who said that people have stopped being romantic? Or perhaps in the harsh times we are going through, don't we all need a fairy tale that will remind us of our lost innocence? Once upon a time...

Behind every fairy tale hides a truth. And behind a truth, real life.
