Main Idea/s - A girl opens a book in their attic and wakes up in a magical world of fairies. - She tries to find the way back to her world with the help of the fairy prince. - They try to retrieve the portal book in that world that would send her back home. Initial Plot Eleanor, was forced by her cruel aunt to clean their attic. She saw a very interesting book while cleaning and decided to open it. The next ting she knew was that she woke up in a world of fairies. There, she met Alexander, the crown prince of Reshadal, who saw her unconscious in the woods. As Alexander tended to her, they get to know each other and he agreed to help her go back to her world. Alexander told Eleanor that the portal book that would send her back home was probably in the hands of Frederick, the King's traitorous brother who was banished to Isla Vincula, an island where exiled fairies were sent to be like prisoners outside the kingdom's mainland. Frederick was banished for trying to steal the throne and for killing the baby Princess Emilia, Alexander's younger sister.  Alexander brings her to the palace as a guest and they prepare secretly for their journey to Isla Vincula. They became close and develop an attraction which they ignore at first.  The pair goes to Isla Vincula and finds out that Frederick has been secretly raising an army of exiles and missing fairies, smuggling weaponsaw materials into the island, and training dracorettes, creatures that were said to be extinct species of dragon's descendants. They hurriedly return to the kingdom and inform the King & Queen about what they saw and heard.  The kingdom's military force prepares for a war and a ball for Alexander's 21st Birthday. It is an important fairy tradition to celebrate the crown prince's 21st birthday as it marks that start of the prince's journey to becoming a king. It is also to officially present the future King to his royal subjects. Before Frederick attacks the Kingdom's capital on Alexander's birthday, the army of the Kingdom journeys towards Isla Vincula to stop and ruin Frederick's plans. Alexander was told by his father to stay in the Kingdom to protect the palace. Alexander still planned on going to help his father. So, he secretly went with the King and his army to the island, only to find out that they entered into the trap. Meanwhile, Eleanor, who knew Alexander will follow his father, also sneaked into the boat.  Alexander finds his father with Frederick and witnesses just as his uncle kills King Arthur. Alexander becomes distraught and outraged. They engage into a sword fight with Alexander on the losing end due to being too emotional. Eleanor finds them and sees Alexander on the floor. She tries to help him but paused when Frederick calls her Princess Emilia and thanks her for helping him achieve his plans. She doesn't believe it at first, but was shocked to see her aunt step forward from the shadows behind the room. It turned out that Frederick was the one who sent Eleanor and Camila, the real name of her Aunt, to the human world. He planned everything. From Eleanor finding the portal book in their attic, to them seeing the army he was building, so the two will report it to the King.  Frederick seeing the shock and pain from both Eleanor and Alexander, figures out another weakness of the two. As he was raising his sword to kill Alexander, Eleanor blocks him with her body. The pitiful acts of his nephew made him stop and laugh. He ridiculed and insulted his brother's corpse once more before proceeding to kill Eleanor and Alexander. He was about to kill Eleanor first, but Camila tries to stop him. As Camila and Frederick were fighting for the sword, Alexander gets up and looks for his sword. Frederick kills Camila, and as he was about to pull the sword from the woman's stomach, Alexander pushes him. They engage in a physical fight, and soon, Frederick finds himself on the losing end. Eleanor hurriedly tries to tend to the injured Camila. Alexander was able to knock Frederick off to the floor, and sees his sword in one corner of the room. He goes to pick it up, and goes to Frederick who was trying, but seems to be failing to stand up due to injuries from the fight. Alexander plans to behead his uncle, but decides otherwise, remembering his father's merciful nature. Camila asks for Eleanor's forgiveness and dies. Alexander declares Frederick's defeat and the war stops. Eleanor decides to leave Reshadal as staying will be too painful and awkward for him and Alexander. They return to the palace along with the late King Arthur's remains and the portal book. Eleanor decides to leave the kingdom after the King's funeral. The kingdom goes into mourning for the late great king. Alexander retreats from everyone as he felt guilty and depressed. Queen Esmeralda talks to his son and comforts him as Eleanor prepares to leave. Alexander tells her mother the truth about Eleanor's identity and decision. The queen was shocked but reveals that Princess Emilia Claire was the real princess. Frederick got the wrong baby during the uprising and accidentally kidnapped a palace maid's baby. Upon hearing that, Alexander runs to Eleanor and informs her of what his mother told him. Eleanor decides to stay to learn her real identity and family, and the two kiss.
