The threat of war looms over Wensleydale and young William has a tough choice to make. Should he follow his heart or honour the family tradition? Will the call of Freya keep him safe and guide him back to his beloved Wensleydale?
Piers is best known for creating award-winning etchings of Wensleydale and will create a collection of scenery for Freya, inspired by paintings from his children’s book of the same name. The images will create a backdrop to the live performances given by the actors and musicians.
