Marabel of Magikos isn't the kind of princess who normally goes on adventures. She's spent her whole life knowing she's second-best to her twin brother, Prince Marco, "the Chosen One" foretold in the all-important Book of Fate. Which is why it's especially alarming when Marco is kidnapped--a turn of events that the Book didn't predict. And even more alarming when it falls to Marabel to mount a secret rescue mission.

Marabel has spent years practicing sword-fighting in secret and dreaming of adventure, but nothing can prepare her for what she'll encounter on her dangerous journey through Magikos and the neighboring kingdom. With her best friend, Ellie, and snarky unicorn Floriano by her side, Marabel comes face-to-face with fairies, trolls, giants, dragons--and the possibility that all is not as it seems in Magikos.

And if Marabel and her friends can't uncover the mysteries of Magikos in time, her brother--and kingdom--might be lost forever.
