All fairy tales have an origin. Elisa is the daughter of a humble book binder, living on a secluded island kingdom in the Baltic Sea. As she turns fifteen, she discovers she is something far greater - a fairy godmother, able to know anybody's wish and grant it. But when a wish-granting goes horribly wrong, everyone and everything Elisa loves is destroyed. Thus begins her long penance - one that will draw her into a conflict that will define the world of fairy tales as we know it.
