Synopsis:

Set in the kingdom of Highland, a world where fairies once thrived before human betrayal, this series explores themes of prejudice and the pursuit of equality. Fifteen-year-old Ann Halford, driven by a desire for a more equitable future between humans and fairies, embarks on a journey to Lewiston, the capital city known for its annual Royal Candy Fair. Her ambition is to earn the title of Silver Sugar Master, a feat requiring recognition of her confection crafted with rare silver sugar.

To ensure her safety during this challenging voyage, Ann hires Shall Fen Shall, a warrior fairy seeking to reclaim a lost wing from a cruel trader. Their unlikely partnership evolves as they travel together, fostering mutual understanding and revealing hidden desires. The narrative blends elements of fantasy adventure with character-driven exploration, examining the complexities of trust, sacrifice, and the power of personal dreams within a society fractured by historical conflict.
