Zen Seraphim is a pampered prince with the wings of a Swallowtail butterfly on an extant world called Entomo inhabited by giant para-insects and warring kingdoms.
In this early Chronicle of Prince Zen we are introduced to him and his forbidden love, Fayaway, they also find an ally in a backwoods warrior seeking a path to knighthood known as Tigar Beetle, and encounter a host of enemies that seek his destruction including Metalmark, a rival royal with razor sharp metallic wings who was exiled from the realm of Strata. Will Prince Zen survive long enough in this world without mercy to discover his destiny?
