Synopsis
A long time ago... in a kingdom far far away... there lived a generous and noble queen, who ruled her kingdom with kindness and wisdom, but she has a secret: she is also a witch. She kept that hidden so the kingdom wouldn't turn on her, as witches are seen as evil. However, her husband, who has secretly longed for more and more power, becomes aware of this, and staged a coup d'etat against her, framing her for a crime she didn't commited and exiling her. The queen, dethroned and alone, must now find the strength inside her and regain her kingdom.
