When Princess Marabel's twin brother Marco, the kingdom's Chosen One, is kidnapped, she travels past the kingdom's Wall to find Marco (held captive by their exiled aunt) and claim a role for herself outside his shadow. Barrett's fantasy kingdom is in many ways a whimsical, tongue-in-cheek version of the modern world, adding a fresh layer to this story of palace intrigue and adventures in an enchanted land.
