When the faerie Healanie promises Queen Nadine a child with a gift, Nadine never expected the gift to be such a curse. But after discovering that her son has the ability to receive nearly everything he wishes for, she does her best to protect him from the world and from himself. When the manipulative castle cook learns of the boy's gift, however, he loses no time in stealing him away and convincing him that he's saved the child from the dangerous world beyond. Prince Rolf's captor is his own undoing, however, when he convinces the heartbroken little prince to wish for a friend to grow up with. Little did he know that such a small, headstrong girl could help the prince discover the truth-and courage-he would need to one day set everything to rights.
