An epic fairy tale adventure on a mysterious hidden island, an unbelievable world of wonder and beauty, darkness and danger, is unveiled to a girl on her fourteenth birthday, the very day she is given an ultimatum: accept her destiny as the chosen one for a perilous quest, as generations of her ancestors have done before her, or seal the fate of her family’s doom. Galatéa’s journey through the extraordinary Land of the Lion brings encounters with its peculiar inhabitants, as a coven of hateful witches look to fatally thwart her mission to reach the powerful lion. But only the worthy will find him…can Galatéa live up to her destiny before it’s too late?
