Young Isladora has been brought up sheltered and neglected in a remote mountain stronghold surrounded by all the pastries she can eat and all the books she can read. When her family is torn asunder by an evil Queen, she must leave her sedentary ways behind to become a weapon to take back her home and avenge her family. Under the tutelage of two mysterious spirits, Isladora begins her ascent and learns two great secrets: her own worth and that her family's importance was even greater than she knew. Through tribulations and strife, Isladora's life transforms her, leading to an understanding of her childhood and a happiness she has never known. This is a story of familial love, its illusions and truths, and life-giving purpose.
