In the crumbling castle above Fracture, the wicked sorceress Lady Lamorna desires a lavish new robe adorned with skulls. To fund her extravagant wish, she resorts to kidnapping, blackmail, and dark magic. However, her sinister plans are challenged by the brave Gracie Gillypot, a scruffy yet gallant prince, two talkative bats, a vengeful troll, and some very ancient crones. Together, they embark on a thrilling adventure to thwart Lady Lamorna's schemes and restore peace to the Five Kingdoms.
