Zoe is living the life of a princess in a world she never knew existed, far from her father and stepmother and her California school. The ice-blue charm she found in a fountain back in her old neighborhood must have something to do with her new life and her new good luck. So she's in no hurry to give up the charm, especially because she thinks it might help her get home - when she's ready to go. But Zoe's pretty blue trinket is one of the legendary Nine Charms and, as its bearer, she is an unknowing participant in an ancient struggle. If she ever hopes to see home again, Zoe must navigate a world of magic that she barely understands. Her every decision will alter the delicate balance between good and evil. And unfortunately, Zoe doesn't always choose to do what's right if doing what's wrong suits her mood.
