King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella was the fourth game in the King's Quest series. The king of Daventry, King Graham, has suffered a heart attack, and is on the brink of death. The magical mirror of Daventry shows the king's daughter, Princess Rosella, a magical fruit in the distant land of Tamir that has powers to save her father's life. King's Quest IV takes place in a 24 hour period, where some puzzles can only be solved in day, where other puzzles can only be solved at night.
