Podaří se sestrám proplout všemi úskalími a sjednotit korunu?

Max and his big brother Christopher have always shared their adventures. In fact for ages they've been sneaking down to Galway Bay at the turn of midnight, waiting for Captain O'Malley and his famed pirate ship to take them over the horizon to the magical world of Eighth Sea. Despite their messages, the Captain never arrived and now, two years later, Christopher is in grave danger. It's not even the sort of danger Max can help with. Christopher is in hospital and getting sicker. Their parents want to take him far, far away for a new treatment, but they don't have the money. That's when a very loud, bright red parrot visits Max's House in Bellflower Lane. Squawk is carrying a message from Captain O'Malley, who needs a new crew member to help with a top secret quest. The reward is treasure beyond Max's wildest dreams. He's going to sail to the Eighth Sea, but he hadn't bargained on coming face to face with a monster, one that is eating the islands of the Eighth Sea one by one.

Két hercegnő. Egy trón. Mi baj lehet belőle? Nagy tét forog kockán az ikerhercegnőkről szóló fantasy-romkomban. A lányokat születésükkor elválasztották egymástól - az egyiket koronahercegnőként nevelik, a másikat pedig még csecsemőként elrabolják. Wren Greenrock mindig is tudta, hogy egy napon majd csellel fog trónra lépni. Születésétől fogva arra képezték ki, hogy visszatérjen a palotába, és megbosszulja szülei halálát, ezért mindent megtesz, hogy királynő legyen, és megvédje a boszorkányok közösségét, ahol felnőtt. Vagyis megtenne, ha egy bizonyos katona vonzó külseje nem terelné el folyton a figyelmét, és ha a vakmerő varázslatai nem sodornák állandóan bajba... Rose Valhart hercegnő tudja, hogy a hatalommal felelősség is jár és nem hagyja, hogy olyan apróságok a kötelessége útjába álljanak, mint hogy a sivatagban ébred egy rendkívül szemtelen (és nagyon jóképű) bandita társaságában. A palotán kívüli élet azonban szebb és zabolátlanabb, mint azt valaha is képzelte volna, és még az is lehet, hogy a rettegett boszorkányok személyében megkapja azt a családot, amire mindig is vágyott. Ám ahogy közeledik a koronázás napja, egy régi ellenségük azon munkálkodik, hogy egyik hercegnőnek se sikerüljön elérni a célját. Vajon végül ki ragadja magához a hatalmat, és kinek a fejére kerül a korona? Avass vele új kedvencet!
