The son of the sun is searching for a wife, and since earthly women who cannot fly are unsuitable, his father approaches the moon, whom he has heard has a lovely daughter. But the daughter is young, and the moon whisks her off to hide her with an elderly couple who have never had a child. With them, Vanishia, as she is known, grows and flourishes. But how will she escape the renewed attention of the son of the sun?
