FAITES VOS VOeUX !
Il était une fois, dans une ville parfaitement ordinaire, des jumeaux prénommés Alex et Conner... Le jour où leur grand-mère leur offre un livre ancien, Le Pays des contes, leur vie plutôt morose change du tout au tout. Et pour cause ! Ce grimoire se révèle magique et les transporte dans un univers où les contes sont devenus réalité. Sauf que ce monde est beaucoup moins merveilleux que celui des belles histoires qu'ils ont lues. Boucle d'Or est une criminelle recherchée, Blanche Neige dissimule un lourd secret, et le Petit Chaperon Rouge n'a même plus peur du loup. Pour rentrer chez eux, Alex et Conner n'ont qu'un seul moyen : rassembler huit objets magiques comme la pantoufle de Cendrillon ou encore des cheveux de Raiponce, tout en tentant d'éviter les foudres de la Méchante Reine. Car cette dernière semble avoir un plan machiavélique qui pourrait bien piéger les jumeaux dans cette étrange contrée. À tout jamais.
Le Pays des contes n'est plus l'endroit enchanté qu'Alex et Conner ont visité il y a un an. Le monde féerique vit désormais dans la peur : l'Enchanteresse maléfique est de retour ! Lorsque ses mauvais sorts atteignent la Terre et que leur mère est enlevée, les jumeaux doivent retourner au Pays des contes.
Depuis que la brèche entre les univers a été refermée, les jumeaux Alex et Conner vivent séparés. Alex continue son apprentissage de la magie, et Conner est un collégien brillant. Lorsque ce dernier découvre qu'une menace séculaire pèse sur le Pays des contes, il se lance dans une quête périlleuse à travers l'Europe, prêt à tout pour prévenir ses amis et trouver le portail oublié qui lui permettra de les rejoindre.
Mais le danger que craignait Conner s'avère pire que prévu : une armée piégée entre les deux mondes depuis près de deux cents ans est soudain libérée. Et avec elle, la seule chose capable de détruire le Pays des contes : le dernier oeuf de dragon.
En déjouant les plans de la cruelle Reine des neiges, Brystal a réussi l'exploit de rendre la magie légale au Pays des contes. Jadis persécutées, les fées sont aujourd'hui célébrées et leur académie accueille tous ceux qui ont un talent spécial. Mais à l'insu de Brystal, une école de sorcellerie a ouvert ses portes ; sa directrice se présente même à l'académie pour recruter de jeunes fées. Quel dessein maléfique cherche-t-elle à accomplir ? Plus divisée que jamais, la communauté magique risque de se retrouver à la merci du pire des ennemis : la Juste Confrérie, une armée secrète qui a fait le serment de détruire à jamais la magie.
L'Homme masqué a réussi : le Pays des contes est tombé sous la coupe de sa terrible armée. Face à lui, les jumeaux Alex et Conner n'ont plus qu'une seule arme, peut-être la plus puissante : leur imagination.
Tous deux se lancent alors à travers les histoires inventées par Conner en quête d'une armée de pirates, de cyborgs, de superhéros ou encore de momies, pour arrêter l'Homme masqué. Et même si l'adolescent est leur auteur, rien ne dit que ses personnages ne se rebifferont pas contre lui !
Mais un complot plus terrible encore se trame dans l'ombre. Un complot qui pourrait bien noircir la magie de tous les mondes à jamais...
Depuis que l'Homme masqué lui a échappé, Alex n'a qu'une obsession : le retrouver. Sauf qu'elle a été déchue du Conseil des fées et que tous refusent de croire que cet homme est une véritable menace. Heureusement, elle peut compter sur l'aide de son frère jumeau, Conner, de Boucle d'or, du Petit Chaperon rouge et de la Mère l'Oie. Grâce à eux, elle découvre le plan démoniaque de son ennemi : armé d'une potion capable de transformer n'importe quel livre en portail vers d'autres univers, il part recruter une armée de méchants de la littérature afin de conquérir le Pays des contes...
Alex a disparu ! Pire, le sortilège de la sorcière Morina l'a transformée en enchanteresse maléfique. Cela ne pouvait tomber plus mal, car la brèche entre le Pays des contes et notre monde est désormais ouverte : héros comme vilains peuvent passer de l'un à l'autre. Conner, aidé de Rouge, Boucle d'or, Jack et de son armée littéraire, doit à tout prix libérer sa soeur. Car seuls les jumeaux peuvent affronter la plus grande menace qui ait jamais existé. Une menace qui plane sur l'ensemble des mondes...
