About the title
Ziah and Pyali are a brother and sister who lost their parents at an early age. Ziah takes care of Pyali as though she were a little princess. They have to travel constantly so that the city authorities won't find them, because then they would separate the children and never let them see each other again. Ziah promises Pyali he'll build a house that will let them stop hiding, but to do that he'll have to work very hard.
