Treeland is an imaginary land in an imaginary era. As Treeland's warrior King Majebe nears 100 years and despite his smiling and laughing face, he is worried for not having a male heir. He has a willful, asserting, charming and very beautiful daughter, Princess Zuri, but in Treeland, daughters are not expected to reign. Zuri must marry so her husband could become the heir to her father's throne. But she has no intention of marrying any suitor chosen for her. Then Treeland is attacked by a tree-cutting people with no veneration for either tree or human life.
