with their families sworn enemies they are forced to keep their friendship a secret until one fateful day when Ronia's father catches Birk . . . prompting Ronia and Birk to escape into the woods and fend for themselves.How long can Ronia and Birk survive in the magical forest? And will their fathers ever put aside their differences to get their beloved children back?
