In a panic, Lucy and her mother run through the streets of Amsterdam, fleeing from dark figures. They can’t stay together and her mom slips Lucy a mysterious book. Lucy needs to go to a secret cave under the bridge and open the book over there. She does what her mom tells her and ends up in a whole different realm: The Realm.

That’s where she meets Alfred, Sam and Milstone. They guide her through The Province where they live and promise to help her find her mother again. But mysterious things are happening in The Province. There are increasingly more signs of terrifying powers that are at work and they discover Lucy is the only one who can save The Province.
