In Auradon, magic is meant to be controlled. Safe. Good.
But not all magic was raised that way.
Aradia has spent her entire life under the shadow of her mother - the Beldam. In a house where love feels conditional and perfection is demanded, Aradia has learned one thing: never show weakness.
When an unexpected invitation arrives from Auradon, Aradia is given a chance at something she's never had before - freedom.
Welcomed by King Ben and Queen Mal, Aradia steps into a kingdom built on second chances. But Auradon is brighter than she expected... and far more complicated.
She meets the next generation of royalty and legacy students:
Elara Grimhilde, brilliant and guarded.
Theo De Vil, sweet and kind-hearted.
Kai Shang, competitive and reckless.
Briar-Rose Beauty, polished and neat.
Vexa Hook, clever and unpredictable.
They let her sit at their table.
They just don't trust her.
Rumors spread quickly when you're the daughter of something that once tried to replace the world.
Then she meets Princess Ember - heir to the throne, wielder of fire, and daughter of Mal and Ben. Unlike the others, Ember doesn't see a threat when she looks at Aradia.
She sees someone trying to fit in.
And when Aradia's past starts bleeding into the present, the kingdom must decide:
Is she the danger?
Or is she the only one who understands it?
Because some worlds don't stay closed forever.
And some daughters were never meant to escape them.
