Living in a world of wooden people, Fortia is the tempestuous teenage daughter of two nut oil millers. She dreams of a life of adventure but feels lost in the monotony of farming nuts in the enormous forests of Macadamia.

The king dies under suspicious circumstances!

Against her parents' wishes, Fortia sneaks out of the house to attend Prince Tonitro's coronation. To take the crown a royal must prove their worth by crushing a magical nugget, an object that can only be broken in the jaws of a future king or queen. After the ceremony Fortia finds a piece of this nugget, but little does she know, her souvenir is the one piece of evidence that can prove the king was murdered.

THE JOURNEY INTO OAKENMEER BEGINS!
