In the darkness of night, magic awaits...
Nottingham, 1906
Marietta Stelle longs to be a ballerina but, as Christmas draws nearer,
her dancing days are numbered - she must marry and take up her place in
society in the New Year. But, when a mysterious toymaker, Dr
Drosselmeier, purchases a neighbouring townhouse, it heralds the arrival
of magic and wonder in Marietta's life.
After Drosselmeier constructs an elaborate theatrical set for her final
ballet performance on Christmas Eve, Marietta discovers it carries a
magic all of its own - a magic darker than anyone could imagine. As the
clock chimes midnight, Marietta finds herself transported from her
family's ballroom to a frozen sugar palace, silent with secrets, in a
forest of snow-topped fir trees. She must find a way to return home
before she's trapped in Everwood's enchanting grip forever.
In the darkness of night, magic awaits and you will never forget what
you find here...
