After the curse is lifted, Maria thinks everything is going to be perfect. Unfortuneately, when Ms, Heliotrope has a nervous breakdown, she is forced to leave. When Maria returns 2 years later, both Robin and a new adventure await.

It's been a month since Robin de Noir left Moonacre Valley for London, and no one has heard a word from him since. Maria, fearing the worst, sets out on a fantastical journey to find him, and discovers a dark secret that could mean the end of the Merryweather/de Noir peace. Can she find the young heir in time? Sequel to the Bird Prince.

A chuckle echoed from within the trees. "Come out, come out, wherever you are, Princess. If you give yourself up now, I promise I won't punish you... too severely." Maria has managed to escape from the de Noir castle. But she finds herself falling once again into the hands of Robin de Noir.
