"When the clock strikes twelve, that's when the magic will be gone."

Whether you were a witch or a princess, you thrived on magic.  There were no questions asked; you just knew.  You knew there was only one thing keeping you alive. 

When Henley Castle, a girl believing only in facts, writes an article that literally crushes the dreams of children around the world, everything changes. Suddenly the magic that was always secretly there is dwindling, and all the fairytale characters are blaming her. 

After Peter Pan sprinkles Henley with a touch of pixie dust, her eyes are opened to the world of heroes and villains and everything she thought to be a myth. 

Since the release of the article, the children who stopped believing in magic are throwing off the balance of the fairytales. Everyone is running mad trying to figure out how to save the magic. Then with a string of luck the storybook beings are given the chance to save thier crumbling world. Unfortunately, they don't know how to navigate the mortal world, and there's only one girl that they trust to guide them.

If the shoe fits, Henley is in for one hell of a ride.

Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.
