Ragna was brave and had a kind heart, and she married a white bear called Valemon who had appeared in her dreams.
The pair of them were deeply in love, but one fateful night Ragna breaks her promise to never look upon Valemon at night, and consequently Valemon is spirited away to the castle of the dreadful Troll Queen.
Ragna embarks alone on a quest to get her Valemon back. With her unshakeable love for Valemon deep in her heart, she traverses dark shadowy forests and snow-storm whipped mountains to finally arrive at the Troll Queen's castle
How will Ragna's quest end? And what is the true form of Valemon, the White Bear King?
