If you thought you'd heard every fairy tale, then you thought wrong . . .

In a faraway kingdom, in a magical place forgotten by time, two girls live happily. Their lives are completely different - in fact, they've never even met - but the girls are bound by three things:

They are both orphans
They both wear a pendant given to them by their parents
They look identical

When a chance meeting throws the girls together, their worlds are turned upside down as a past they never knew they had leads them to a future they could never have dreamed of.

Danger, mystery and magic await. Their story began once upon a time. But how will it end?
