Resumen

Ever since they were children, Princess Isabelle of Cloister and a young farmer named Jack, one of the kingdom's subjects, have been fascinated by the tale of magic beans possessed by monks made to grow a pathway to find their God, only to find that pathway led to a place between heaven and Earth home to race of giants who had a taste for human flesh and bone. King Erik the Great, one of Isabelle's true ancestors, had fashioned a magic gold crown to rule and thus control the giants, who he banished back to their prison between heaven and Earth, with the pathway destroyed for them never to return. So when Jack is offered a bag of beans by a monk as collateral payment for Jack's horse, Jack is forced to take the beans as the monk absconds with his horse. In Jack's presence, one of the stray beans sprouts, sweeping Isabelle up into the sky with the giant beanstalk. Isabelle had always wanted adventure outside the castle walls, this adventure is arguably too much even for her. King Brahmwell issues his head guardian, Elmont, to assemble a party of men to search for Isabelle. Two volunteers for the party are Lord Roderick, Isabelle's betrothed, one of the King's trusted advisors but a man she does not love, and Jack himself, the latter who is allowed to go as he saw what happened. What the King, the Lord and Elmont do not know is that Jack is in love with Isabelle from their two chance encounters and will do anything to save her. And what the King, Elmont and Jack do not know is that the Lord originally stole the beans and King Erik's crown from the monks, he, believing in the tale of the giants, planning on using them - the crown which he still possesses - and his marriage to Isabelle to rule Cloister with a heavy hand. They will all soon discover that the legend of the giants is true, the giants who have captured Isabelle. What they all also do not anticipate is that if they can make their way up the beanstalk to the giants, the giants can make their way down to Cloister. What happens between them all is largely dependent on who is in possession of King Erik's crown.—Huggo
