"You are presuming I am the type to joke, Miss Hathaway," Prince Agincourt said with a raised brow, "And I assure you, I am not," he leaned down to Penelope, the once ignored spark of that strange something, rolling thunder and winter ice, sparkling pink-blue-green aurora and twinkling cold fire in the Prince's teal eyes suddenly all she could see, "So let me ask you again: Do you believe in magic?" When Lady Penelope Hathaway and Lucas Steiner stumble upon the mysterious city of Tywarchester, they find themselves entranced by the town, which is overflowing with mystery, magic and dark secrets. Lady Hathaway finds herself becoming close to the young crown princess, Felicity Agincourt, as Lucas investigates the strange Agincourt Grotto, a dark forest which the locals spin folktales about. But both travelers get caught up in more than they expected when both become close to the royal family. Lady Hathaway begrudgingly teams up with pretentious and stotic Prince Agincourt to help protect Agincourt from the wicked presence that threatens it, but is it too late for the cursed city to be saved? And as the Prince and Penelope work together, Penelope begins to see another side of the Prince, which only adds to the questions she has about Tywarchester. Penelope and Lucas only know one thing for certain, saving dark Tywarchester is going to be their biggest adventure yet...
