Take a trip to the magical world of Lilantium, where young people go to schools tailored to fit their adventuring needs. The Academy of Charms and Charmings in the whimsical town of Old Darlingdeen is home to many soon-to-be Prince Charmings and Fairy Godmothers.
Charles Charming is a student at the prestigious Academy, desperate to go on his very first quest and prove that he is ready to graduate. Along with his Fairy Godmother-in-training best friend, Larissa Fair, and fellow Charming - and nemesis - Clay Charming, Charles sets out to save the day.
Given only a cryptic scroll to work with, Charles must complete his quest before he can return to the school to graduate. But things aren't as easy as he had hoped, and Charles soon discovers that he still has much to learn.
