Description

An expansive, lyrical adventure unfolds across twelve soaring songs, drawing listeners into a world where medieval knight‑quests intersect with the shimmering realm of the fairies. The tale follows a daring young hero summoned by an emperor to undertake a perilous mission, while his heart is already bound to a mysterious, exotic love. At the same time, the enigmatic fairy king, ruler of ethereal courts, wrestles with his own unrest, his quarrel with the queen of the sylvan realm echoing the mortal struggles below.

These parallel threads weave together, each shaping the other’s destiny, as the knight’s bravery, the lover’s fidelity, and the fairy monarch’s yearning become inseparable. The poetry’s rich language and vivid imagery invite listeners to feel the clash of swords, the whisper of enchanted woods, and the tender pulse of love that drives every brave step forward.
