In an alternate reality of the Enchanted Forest, where the realm is fractured between Queen Regina's shadowed East and the Charmings' golden West, sheltered Princess Emma defies her parents by forging a royal identity using enchanted ink to attend a masked ball as the mysterious Prince Emeric of the lost Emberstalk Empire. There, she unknowingly falls for Regina, and the Queen falls for her in return-each unaware of the other's true name. As secret letters, courtship, and forbidden visits spark a powerful bond, political pressure, betrayal, and magical revelations threaten to destroy everything. But when Emma, standing trial for treason, invokes a forgotten magical vow written centuries ago-the Skyward Pact-the ancient realm itself must decide whether to punish a lie... or honor a love that dares to unite kingdoms.
