Four-year-old Tiana, awash in tragedy, sets out on an epic quest to restore magic to the world of Linaria. Joined by many friends along the way, from the warrior kelpie to the gentle mermaid, the scary but sweet fire elemental to the beautiful but distant unicorn, the childlike dryad to the steadfast satyr, the playful dragon to the serious phoenix, they all offer their own unique perspectives to her quest. Aided by her faithful guide, he and Tiana travel the breadth of the continent, finding teachers and picking up friends to aid them on their journey as Tiana learns the true meaning of magic and what it means to be a friend and a leader.
