Kings and Sorcerers (German)

Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a glorious warrior like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fortress full of boys. As she struggles to understand her special abilities, her mysterious inner powers, she realizes that she is different from the others. But a secret and prophecy have been hidden from her since she was born, which is why she still wonders who she really is. As Kyra grows up, the local regent wants to take her away from the family. Her father wants to marry her to save her from it. However, Kyra refuses to do so and goes on her own to travel to a dangerous forest where she encounters a wounded dragon - triggering a series of events that will change the kingdom forever. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Alec sacrifices himself for his brother and takes part in the drawing for him. He is sent to the flames, a wall of fire that is one hundred meters high and is supposed to keep the army of trolls to the east. At the other end of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary who wants to leave his dark past behind, must make his way through the forest to become a guardian of the tower. These help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of power in this kingdom. But the trolls also want to own the sword - and they are preparing for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdom forever.
