Life was going calmly in the Wall Village, which took its name from the huge stone wall that separated them from the mysterious lands beyond. Over time, young Tristran Thorn, who lived in the village, lost his heart to the beautiful and cold Victoria Forester. To win Victoria's heart, Tristra will have to retrieve a falling star from beyond the Wall. There were others following this star in magical and dangerous realms where he would be thrown without knowing the direction; witches, lords… and of course the star itself.
