In a single day and night of fierce fighting, the Archduchy of Mongaul has overrun its elegant neighbor, Parros. The lost priest kingdom's surviving royalty, the young twins Rinda and Remus, hide in a forest in the forbidding wild Marches. There they are saved by a mysterious creature with a man's body and a leopard's head who has just emerged from a deep sleep and only remembers his name. Guin.
