When the Winter Festival comes to the Kingdom, Elenor hopes to attend just one ball, to be allowed one enchanting moment. Meanwhile her stepmother and stepsisters do everything they can to ruin her dreams. Will kindness, [along with some doves and slippers and a little magic prevail, leading Elenor, Prince Sebastian and Princess Madeline to find their own Happily Ever Afters?
