Lila has the unique ability to inspire dreams and believes that Camille has the same talent, so she recruits her to be an apprentice. Together, they embark on an adventure to free a distant civilization from tyranny, which challenges Camille to expand her imagination and skill.
Only through confidence and creativity will she be able to find the key disguised as a silver thorn, free the imprisoned land, and have the dream she needs the most.
