<br/><br/> Long ago, a magic man created an enchanted charm that granted incredible power - at the cost of the wearer's own tenderness and compassion. Thousands of years later, a kindly father discovers the Flint Heart among the reeds and rocks near his farm and is transformed into a cruel and merciless brute. Determined to win back their father's true nature, Charles and Unity set off into an enchanted world where animals talk, fairies hold elaborate banquets, and magical mischief must be resolved to bring their lives back to rights again.
