Bookroo's summary

In a remote mountain castle, Princess Irene stumbles upon a mysterious stairway leading to a labyrinth of forgotten passages. As she ventures deeper, she must confront the lurking threat of the boglins. With only a magical ring for protection, can Irene unravel the secrets at the top of the stairway and safeguard her kingdom? The stakes are high, and danger lurks in every shadow. Will courage and magic be enough to face the unknown?

From the publisher

Princess Irene lives in a castle in a wild and lonely mountainous region. One day she discovers a steep and winding stairway leading to a bewildering labyrinth of unused passages with closed doors - and a further stairway. What lies at the top? Can the ring the princess is given protect her against the lurking menace of the boglins from under the mountain?
