Princess Anya struggles with a dire dilemma: her step‑stepfather, Duke Rikard, is an evil wizard who seeks to dominate the kingdom and habits of transforming people into frogs. Together with her older sister Morven—who has been overlooked as the heir—and the ever‑watchful royal dogs, Anya enlists the aid of Gotfried, the castle librarian who can morph into an owl when upset. The girls set out on a quest to defeat the wizard, rescue Morven, and perhaps restore Prince Denholm to his human form, weaving humor, magic, and adventure through the kingdom.
