Synopsis

A stage-ready story, not a franchise explainer.

After his father's funeral, Owen receives Grandfather's Sword from Harlan, the famous grandfather whose life of adventure left the family wounded. The sword draws Owen into the forest of Maab, the Wild Queen, where he rescues Clara, a prisoner held through her mother's old debt.

Years later, Owen and Clara have built a family. Maab returns to claim what she believes she is owed. Owen must take up the sword again, not for glory, but to bring Clara home and break the cycle before their children inherit it.
