Description

Is this the end of the line for the Train of Dark Wonders?

Trouble is brewing at the Odditorium, where the gateway to the Land of Fairy Tales is about to open. For, as Bess knows only too well, fairy tales are nothing like the ones from the storybooks. Queen Cinderella wants her stolen magic slipper back and nothing will get in her way.

It soon becomes clear that Bess’s only choice is to travel to the Land of Fairy Tales and face Cinderella. With her friends by her side, she is determined to finish what her grandfather started by venturing to the queen’s legendary castle of illusions.

But as Bess and her friends fall victim to a series of sneaky tricks and enchantments, time is running out in their quest to find their happily ever after. And there’s a chance they may never escape unless they defeat the evil fairy-tale queen once and for all…
