Soon after their last adventure in the garden of the evil sorceress, Sandra, Sigurd, and Monika are visited by the prince once again. This time, however, he is the one to suffer at the hands of the evil ruler of Isengrim in the land of cold winter. Of course that our friends want to save the prince, but the fortress appears impregnable. But what if there is a secret cipher that grants access to its interior? “The Falcon in Chains” does not disappoint the fans with a lot of action, dangerous escapades, and the power of friendship.

It follows the adventures of three children, whose quite ordinary lives are turned upside down by the appearance of Prince Carvallo, who takes them to a magical land.
