Years ago, the Emperor used dark magic to steal all the colour from the world. Now he keeps it for himself, enjoying its life-giving power while everyone else must exist in cold shades of grey. That is, until a miracle baby is born everything she touches turns to colour. But the childs life is in danger from her very first breath. Soon the Emperors murderous Ripper Dogs and Black Coats come hunting. Can the girl and her adopted father survive in the forest and what will it take to return colour and hope to the world?
