A king has two queens and no heir — until a holy fakir gives the younger queen a secret: her son's life will be bound up with a necklace hidden in the heart of a great fish. When the jealous elder queen learns the secret, the little prince falls into an enchanted death by day and wakes by night — and the bride fate has written for him is a girl promised, before her birth, to a dead bridegroom.
