In the world of Auradon, order reigns, and chaos is the enemy. Chloe Charming, the disciplined daughter of Cinderella, has spent her life following the rules. She's a hall monitor, a protector of Auradon Prep's strict code, and a defender of its ideals-responsibility, respect, and perfection. To her, rules are more than guidelines; they're the foundation of everything she believes in.
But when a new, unruly student named Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, is enrolled in the school, Chloe's world is turned upside down. Red is chaos personified: reckless, defiant, and determined to break every rule in sight. From day one, she challenges Chloe's orderly existence with her wild, unpredictable ways, and soon, trouble follows her everywhere.
When an ancient evil threatens Auradon itself, Chloe and Red are forced into an unlikely partnership. Their mission: to save the world from certain destruction. The only problem? Chloe despises Red's disregard for rules, while Red thinks Chloe is nothing but a rigid, by-the-book snitch.
As the two struggle to survive dangerous trials, unexpected alliances, and the deepening mystery of the dark forces at play, their constant bickering slowly gives way to something else. Beneath Red's wild exterior and Chloe's perfectionist mask, both girls are hiding secrets of their own. And as they face peril together, the walls between them begin to crumble.
Will they overcome their differences in time to save Auradon-and themselves? Or will their fragile bond shatter before it has a chance to grow?
