The best-selling author of the Disney's Descendants adventures presents a debut entry in a fairy tale-inspired series that finds a bullied teen summoned by a character from her favorite books into a magical world that is being threatened by an evil queen.

Filomena Jefferson-Cho and her friends, Jack Stalker, Alistair, and Gretel are once again in Never After, to help Gretel fulfill a promise to her father to recover the glass slipper he made for her cousin, Hortense, which was stolen by the cunning and manipulative Cinderella, who is determined to become Princess of Eastphalia--to do that the friends will have to infiltrate the castle, and, of course, avoid being eaten by monsters.

"Before the world knew them as Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, young Alex and Eliza fell in love amidst the turmoil of the American Revolution"--

In their third adventure, Filomena and company set off to Snow Country, rescue Lord Sharif of Nottingham, reverse a spell that turned Prince Charming into a Frog, and form the League of the Seven--fearless warriors devoted to fighting the orges at any cost.

The League of Seven follows the yellow brick road to retrieve the sword of Excalibur and save Fil's mother from Olga's evil clutches.

When they begin receiving threatening messages they believe are from their villainous parents, Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay know they must return to the Isle of the Lost to find out what is going on before the plot to destroy Auradon succeeds.

For Red, growing up in Wonderland has been no piece of cake (literally--dessert is outlawed). Her mom, the Queen of Hearts, rules the kingdom with an iron scepter, while Red longs for a life of her own. She's heard rumors about an island that once housed all the villains of folklore. A place with no rules? It sounds perfect.
