Phillip is the youngest prince. Different from his warrior-like brothers, Phillip enjoys writing, playing cittern, and learning of all kinds. His quiet intelligence is mocked, and when he fails the final test for knighthood, he becomes a disgrace to his family. His father banishes him, flinging him into the wild land of Boarlone.
When the foreigner, Prince Soren, claims himself king of Boarlone, Phillip is forced to conceal his identity and become a sailor. With his trust-worthy and particularly tall friend, Harvey, at his side, a plan grows in Phillip’s mind. He must save the kingdom to win back his father’s acceptance. But how can he manage his sailor life, his assassination plans, and at the same time battle against his growing affections for a girl whose heart belongs to another?
