"Among the gifts sent by foreign ambassadors, two little princesses find a strange book with no title or author's name. The cover features a coat of arms with a griffin, and inside is a tale about a brave princess and an evil queen, whose reign became the darkest period in the history of the nameless kingdom. She was ruthless to her enemies, heartless to her people, and almost led to the destruction of an entire state. Her tyranny was ended in no less cruel way, and she accepted death at the hands of her own sister."

When Grandma finds out about the find, her gaze darkens. She knows this story all too well, because the fairy tale sent to the granddaughters by the mysterious author is not fiction at all."
