Synopsis
Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are now the newest fairy-tale detectives in their family, and they still want to know who kidnapped their parents more than a year ago. Sabrina sneaks into the hideout of the Scarlet Hand, a sinister group of Everafters that is holding her parents, but a famous fairy-tale character stops her there. Together with her younger sister and a long-lost relative, she sets out to find a powerful weapon that might be used against the group's most feared member. Along the way the sisters learn that magic always comes with a high price.
