Stardust

Dunstan Thorne, a clever man from Wall, manages to trick the guard stationed at the magical stone wall separating his village from the kingdom of Stormhold. His audacity allows him to venture into the vibrant market of the mystical realm, where a world of wonder awaits.

In Stormhold, Dunstan meets Una, a beautiful enslaved princess who offers him a glass snowdrop in exchange for a kiss. This brief encounter leads to an unexpected consequence as the two spend the night together, forever changing Dunstan's life.

Nine months after their night together, Dunstan receives a surprise visit from the guard, who delivers his and Una's son, Tristan. This moment marks the beginning of Tristan's journey as he grows up unaware of his significant parentage.

Eighteen years later, the ailing king of Stormhold throws a ruby into the sky, declaring that the first of his sons to retrieve it will become the next ruler. The jewel collides with a star, leading to a race between the princes to claim the prize.

In Wall, Tristan witnesses the falling star and, motivated by his infatuation with Victoria, vows to retrieve it for her. He receives a Babylon candle, allowing him to travel anywhere, which he uses to embark on his mission.

Upon lighting the Babylon candle, Tristan finds himself face-to-face with the fallen star, Yvaine, who appears in human form. Enchanted by her beauty, he chains her with the intent to present her to Victoria, unaware of the dangers ahead.

Meanwhile, a trio of ancient witch sisters, led by Lamia, hunt for Yvaine. Their sinister plan is to consume Yvaine's heart to regain their lost youth and power, setting up a deadly confrontation that will affect everyone involved.

Tristan leaves Yvaine chained to a tree while he goes for food, but fate intervenes when a unicorn frees her. She falls into a trap set by Lamia at a newly conjured inn, leading to a dramatic turn of events that threaten her life.

Upon learning of Yvaine’s peril, Tristan boards a passing coach led by Primus. Their arrival at the inn interrupts Lamia's plans, but tragedy strikes as Primus is killed during the chaotic escape, leaving Tristan to flee with Yvaine.

Tristan and Yvaine are captured by whimsical pirates on their ship, led by the flamboyant Captain Shakespeare. The captain concocts a story to protect them, giving Tristan the opportunity to learn skills necessary for survival in a hostile world.

Tristan and Yvaine share a heartfelt night together in a safe inn after escaping the pirates. However, conflict arises as Tristan's lingering feelings for Victoria complicate their blossoming romance, leading to a pivotal moment of choice.

When a lock of Yvaine's hair turns into Stardust, Tristan realizes the dangers she faces if she crosses the wall. He rushes back to rescue her, fueled by his growing love and a realization of how much she truly means to him.

Yvaine, heartbroken by what she believes to be Tristan's betrayal, heads towards the wall. Una intervenes in a caravan to save her, but tragedy strikes when Lamia captures both Yvaine and Una, further escalating the dire situation.

Tristan and Septimus, now allies, confront Lamia in her lair. In a tragic twist, they manage to defeat two of the witches, but Lamia's dark magic claims Septimus, leaving Tristan to face her vengeance alone.

After the defeat of Lamia, Tristan learns of his heritage and claims his place as the rightful heir to Stormhold. He ascends to the throne alongside Yvaine, solidifying their love and a new era of peace that stretches into eternity.
