Despite her big heart and love for baking, Gwen is living proof that royalty doesn't always have it all--unlike the typical fairytale princess, or other princesses in the Pastel Kingdom, Gwen isn't particularly attractive.

When her father proposes marriage for Gwen and her sisters in hopes of building an alliance with the Plaid Kingdom, Gwen's heart shatters when she overhears Prince Frederick call her "ugly." Ashamed and overwhelmed, she runs away into the forest, where she discovers the twisted and enchanted world of the Cursed Princess Club--and her life will change forever. Outcast by society, the Cursed Princess Club are a ragtag crew of misfits and cursed princesses who have banded together to form their own friendship circle. One where they are seen, supported, and appreciated--warts and all. With Gwen joining the crew, she embarks on her own journey to find community and embrace her uniqueness.
