This series should be read in order.

At Ever After High, an enchanting boarding school, the children of fairytale legends prepare themselves to fulfill their destinies as the next generation of Snow Whites, Prince Charmings and Evil Queens... whether they want to or not.

Each year on Legacy Day, students sign the Storybook of Legends to seal their scripted fates. But not everyone is happy with the current arrangement. While the Royals always get their 'happily ever after', the Rebels are forced into a life of evil that they do not choose. For generations, the Village of Book End has whispered that refusing to sign means The End – both for a story and for a life. So what's an Evil Queen's daughter to do?
