After receiving a challenge which could determine the future of her village, if not the whole world, Serafina sets out for the city of Mirado. There she will have to do whatever it takes to gain the prestige, money, and connections necessary to participate in the town's famous auction and reacquire her family's long-lost treasure.
The Key to the Egg is a treasure of great power. It was once in the care of Serafina's secluded village, but it was stolen long before she was even born. One day, the elder receives a shocking letter from Ange, Serafina's rival for the title of True Maiden: She claims to have found their lost treasure! The elder has little choice but to send Serafina off to try and get it back.
