10 year old twins Albert and Florrie’s epic journey
begins in 1849, and times were as hard as nails for most people, indeed
Victorian London was certainly not a pleasant place if you were poor, but even
worse if you had the misfortune to be stuck in Mrs. Snagglesnarle’s orphanage (which
was exactly where Albert and Florrie found themselves.) 

However, one fateful day the strange and hapless
Mr. Arthur Canarthy turns up and informs them that their parents aren’t dead
but they are cursed. 

They discover if they are to break the curse then
they must strike a deal with the vindictive sorceress Madame Belladonna
Divitan, who assigns them twelve seemingly impossible tasks which they must
successfully complete within the year. 

After Arthur Canarthy is forced to assume the
reluctant role of their guardian, he decides to enlist the help of a roguish
smuggler by the name of Ebenezer Smythe, and together, they all set off on an
uncertain and dangerous journey to far away lands. 

From the murderous Bluebeard’s French chateau, to
the frozen domain of The Ice Queen’s palace in Lapland, their terrifying
adventures with werewolves, vampires and other such mythical creatures weave
through the fabric of old folklore, fairy stories and dark magic, as they
struggle to complete the challenges before their time runs out. 

But in a world where nothing is as it seems, who
can they truly trust and will they ever find their happily ever after? 

Be warned this is no merry-go-round of fun and
frivolity...
