Will the young Queen Nikolette find a way to secure the shores of Eryx and keep King Iodoc from setting foot upon the sands of her kingdom?

Young Nikolette arrives at the beautiful sea kingdom of Eryx and happily adjusts to her life as a princess. But Nikolette's carefree days as a princess are cut short when her grandfather passes on to the Isle of the Buried and Nikolette becomes the ruling queen of Eryx. Nikolette faces her biggest challenge when she discovers that evil King Iodoc has plans to invade her peaceful sea kingdom.
