In the wildest and most isolated county of the kingdom, two thrones of power determine the lives of three generations of the Dragon family lords: Maximus, Valtemar, and Mattia, so different yet so similar in character. And beside them, their women, sometimes as absolute mistresses and sometimes as shadows, pull the strings of their husbands' actions.

Power, love affairs, passion, intrigues, betrayals, hatred, machinations, commercial ambitions, political agreements, wars, tortures, murders write their history in the impenetrable Dragon castle with its well-hidden secrets, built in the most inaccessible part of the vast dense forest. And there, in the heart of this forest, hides a mythical creature that watches everything but intervenes only when its land is threatened.

A fantastic journey that starts from the frozen North and reaches Venice and Genoa of the 16th century, bringing magic from fairy tale to reality. Because even today, magic exists. Who is the one who will stop the big child we hide inside us from seeking its fairyland? Who said that people have stopped being romantic? Or perhaps in the harsh times we are going through, don't we all need a fairy tale to remind us of our lost innocence? Once upon a time...

Behind every fairy tale lies a truth. And behind a truth, real life.
