Vlak na middernacht, gekleed in een donkere broek en met Vos cape om, sloop de koningin haar woonvertrekken uit, en stapte een wereld binnen van verhalen en leugens. Bitterblauw, koningin van Monsea, raakt in de ban van de wereld buiten de kasteelmuren. Overdag proberen haar raadsmannen het verleden angstvallig voor haar verborgen te houden, maar s nachts komt ze meer en meer te weten over de heerschappij van haar vader, koning Leck. Bitterblauw wist dat haar vader niet geliefd was, maar het begint haar te dagen dat haar koninkrijk vijfendertig jaar lang in handen is geweest van een krankzinnige. En dat ze, om de wonden te helen, dieper en dieper moet graven in de herinneringen die haar adviseurs zo wanhopig proberen te vergeten.
