Sometimes magic will help on the path to power, sometimes to beauty, but the greatest magic is true love, which will overcome all obstacles, above intrigue and evil... Ondro is well on his way to becoming an acclaimed baker. Princess Anna also has a clear idea of her life, and it is miles away from the wedding with the suitor chosen for her by her uncle Árpád. The greedy wizard Láb does not shy away from anything; a bag of gold would be suitable enough for him, so under pressure from Árpád, he casts a spell on the king himself. What will the kingdom do without a good and just ruler? Will Láb manage to fix what he has ruined with his spells?
