Her parents have no time for her especially her dad, the King of Strggen, whos busy plotting against the neighbouring kingdom of Thrum. So when a friendly young orphan named Billy appears at the palace, Pom decides to run off with him. Shes after adventure, and knows exactly where shell find it: Bullion Island, a tiny patch of land that stands exactly between Strggen and Thrum.
