Tiffany has always wanted to be a witch because all the other girls in stories are princess who twist their ankles or some other silly thing. That's why it would be good to be a witch. When she finally meets a witch and learns about finding the witch school she thinks she is on her way. Then her brother, Wentworth, gets kidnapped by the Queen of Fairyland. Tiffany sets out with a frying pan and some little helpers - the Nac Mac Feegle (also known as the Wee Free Men). Will Tiffany be able to rescue her brother with the help of these new friends? What will she learn about being a witch?

Before Rapunzel was born a deal was made between her mother and a sorceress, Melisande. The deal was that if Rapunzel's mother did not lover her child just as she was then Melisande would be able to take her. Melisande took the child when she was born and raised her almost as her own daughter.

Sixteen years later, Melisande admits that she has a daughter and she hopes that Rapunzel can free her daughter from a tower where a wizard placed her. Rapunzel has only two nights with the day in between to figure out how to accomplish this or Melisande's daughter will be trapped forever.
