Twelve year old Sandhya (Sandy), has travelled from her home in the United States to India for a family reunion, at the family’s palace Amrita Mahal.

The Palace is under threat from the local mafia, as the family can’t find a document that shows they are the rightful owners. The document must be located in order for them to keep their home.

Whilst staying at the palace, Sandy and the other children go looking for an old missing toy, the huntsman, that was hidden by Prince Surya Bhanu some 120 years ago. The hunt for the huntsman has been a family tradition for many years, but with the house full of lots of secret compartments and nooks and crannies, the hunt isn’t easy, hence no-one has ever found the toy before.

Will Sandy find the toy, and will the document be found, and save the family from being evicted from their ancestral home?
