Princess Verunka´s marriage is to save the kingdom, impoverished as a result of its ruler´s crazy ideas. She´s not hard up for suitors: there´s a talented poet, twins – one a general, the other a composer – as well as a mysterious marquis wielding the magic of his mother Morana, the Queen of Death. Could Ondra, an ordinary youth, desiring to become a raftsman on wild waters, stand a chance in competing with them? At first the game is about Verunka´s hand in marriage, but later on the lives of all the kingdom´s inhabitants are at stake. This time the path to a happy end will have many curves and turns. But there´s also a small wreath floating on the river surface, and carrying a message of love, plus the king´s latest invention – so that the end may be happy after all…
