Sofia Bottom lives in Elysia, a small, forgotten European country where myths of living trees and faeries have given way to a flourishing arts scene. Her mother, Clara Bottom, is the nation's most revered writer. Fourteen-year-old Sofia, who loves ancient myths but lacks artistic talent, struggles to gain her mother's love. When Elysia's greatest enemy invades and the Capital is threatened, Clara entrusts Sofia with smuggling her new manuscript to safety on the last children's evacuation train. However, the train mysteriously stops in a forest, forcing Sofia to flee and lose the manuscript. Alone and frightened in a war-torn country, Sofia embarks on an epic journey to recover it, encountering soldiers, survivors, and lost children. She must choose between kindness and survival.
