Once Upon a Time...
When Jack lost her sister to the giant Galifron, she thought she would never see her again. Dead is dead, and being the sister left behind means carrying a lifetime of guilt, grief-and rage. So when a witch offers her a chance to raise her sister from the dead, Jack agrees to strike a bargain and sets off on an impossible quest.
Prince Quil of Mynos only wants to have fun and be free of his obligations, especially while traveling in the western kingdom of Daphnis. When he falls head over heels for the mysterious girl he meets on a rooftop, however, following his heart means following her on a quest to raise her sister from the dead. How else is he going to get her to fall for him, too?
But the quest goes horribly wrong, and Jack and Quil find themselves faced with consequences neither of them anticipated-and doomed to seek answers at the top of a towering, magical beanstalk. Some things, once broken, can't easily be put back together, and fixing what they never meant to break will ask of each of them more than they ever imagined.
What lies at the top of the beanstalk just might teach them, in the end, what true love really is.
