You know how all those fairy tales take you through lots of scary adventures till you finally reach that inevitable line - 'And they lived happily ever after...' Guess what? It's not true. Life in never-never land isn't all swetness and light. Cinderela - whose real name is Daniela Whiteshore (née Danielle de Glas) - does marry Prince Armand. And (if you can ignore the pigeon incident) their wedding is a dream-come-true. But not long after the 'happily ever after', Danielle is attacked by her stepsister Charlotte, who suddenly has all sorts of magic to call upon. And though Talia - otherwise known as Sleeping Beauty - comes to rescue (she's a martial arts master, and all those fairy blessings make her almost unbeatable), Charlotte gets away.
