Additional information
The passage from this world to the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold is through
a breech in a wall by an English village. In the 1800s, a boy becomes a man
when he ventures through the breech to prove his love for the village beauty
by finding a fallen star. The star is no lump of rock, but a maiden, Yvaine,
and Tristan, the youth, is not the only one searching for her: three witches,
led by Lamia, want her heart to make them young. The sons of the dead
king of Stormhold want her because she possesses a ruby that will give one
of them title to the throne. Assisting Tristan are his mother, the victim of a
spell, and a transvestite pirate of the skies. Will Tristan win his true love?
