Prince Mirounga lost his father in the war and is being sent away from his home in The Green Shores, to train as a squire under General Nicolas of The Blue Mountains. But Miro is shy and afraid, that he will once again be bullied for his large size and quiet, gentle demeanour.

Arriving in The Royal Guard, he finds that the General has given Miro to another knight and in Miro’s place by the Generals side is Tarek, the arrogant and proud brother of The Sultan of The Red Sands, a far worse bully than Miro ever knew at home.

And with him, from the desert, Tarek carries a secret, that could start up a new war.

When catastrophe strikes and his friends are in danger, Miro has to come to grips with the fact, that sometimes, size really does matter. Both the size and strength of his body and of his heart.
