"Starry sparks rest your shine,
light will travel through its times.
Love will clear the lost storm,
bringing the clear sky back home."

Working with her sister, Jara the Magician and their magical friends, Princess Zyra must save Sea Castle's environment, find the Birri and defeat the unnatural force that plagues her world. As time closes in, Princess Zyra realises that the success of her mission greatly depends on her ability to discover the deeper mystery of being surrounding her own lost storm.
