Exiled to a landscape warped by playful yet menacing magic, a young aristocrat fantasizes about the quiet life she never had with her war-worn father—until the wild land’s illusions turn traitorous and expose long-buried family secrets. As her father succumbs to delusions and her droll butler advises from the sidelines, she reluctantly uncovers that survival requires confronting absurd dangers with humor and flair: reanimating furniture, talking animals with moral agendas, and existential mushroom villages. Through this sardonic gauntlet, she must decide if defying her father's example means passivity—or if redefining magic will heal both the land and the rift between them.
