Until one day, the Queen summons Noelani to find her daughter who has mysteriously disappeared the night before her wedding. Given one week to recover the princess, Noelani is forced to confront a baffling mystery, a terrifying adversary and her own past to save the kingdom. But not everything is as it seems in Patria Lupi, and in seven days she may not have a life to get back on track.
