Chantal, an influencer with no followers, and her best friend Zeynep end up in a fairytale world thanks to an antique magic mirror that they think is a social media gimmick. The marriage-mad princes didn't expect such a badass princess. Thanks to her ghetto skills, Chantal does away with reactionary fairytale clichés, fights against curses and tyrannical kings - and, above all, fights for her friendship with Zeynep.

This is a riotous, anachronistic fantasy that gleefully skewers fairytale tropes with a modern, irreverent sensibility. Expect a vibrant, laugh-out-loud adventure driven by an unlikely heroine's street smarts and a heartwarming core of friendship. It's a wildly entertaining, surprisingly sympathetic romp.
