The premise, in the publisher's words

Legends tell of a golden crown hidden high above the clouds a crown said to grant any wish. Drawn by its promise, countless souls began their climb toward the heavens. None ever returned. Now, a small frog takes the leap, determined to reach what others could not. Each fall brings doubt. Each jump brings hope. Some chase glory. Others chase dreams. But only one may reach the crown.
