Once upon a time... Twelve years ago, Meg's father remarried. A few weeks later, he and her younger sister were lost at sea, and then Meg herself was sent to be personal maid to the neighboring country's princess, leaving their youngest sister to their stepmother's mercy. Fortunately for them, that princess was Robin, and now, after years of setbacks and waiting, they're on their way to piece the family back together. A fairy's promise gives them hope for success, but is that enough in the face of pirates, lost slippers, and chess?
