On the brink of her Quinceanera and her coronation, Solimar visits the monarch butterflies inthe forest. There, the sun pierces through a sword-shaped crevice in a boulder, which shines on her and sends the butterflies humming and swirling around her. She realises she's been given a gift - and a burden: she can predict the near future, and has become a protector of the butterflies. Tragedy strikes when a neighbouring king invades while her father and brother are away, and the remaining villagers are taken hostage - all except Solimar. Cans she save her family, the kingdom, and the future of the butterflies?
