In a realm shadowed by vengeance and heartbreak, the Evil Queen weaves dark magic to mend her shattered heart-giving life to a daughter from the ashes of her true love.
As her Darkest Curse surges to devour all happiness, Regina makes the ultimate sacrifice: sending her newborn Daniela through a wishing well, whispering a promise that will span across worlds and years.
Raised in the harsh foster system of New York City, found abandoned on a snowy roadside at just two weeks old, Daniela Pro grows into a fearless, unyielding young woman. Mercy is weakness; respect must be earned-and Taylor Monroe has fought for every ounce of hers. When the pair stumble into the quiet coastal town of Storybrooke, Maine, the ordinary quickly unravels. Strangers seem to know too little and time feels frozen.
As old magic stirs and hidden truths emerge, Daniela must confront the family she never knew-and the queen who gave her away.
