Princess Anidori is not very comfortable around people - she would much rather be out with her horse, Falada, or talking to the birds that live around the palace. She knows she will never be the queen her mother is, but it still comes as a surprise when her mother names Ani's younger brother as heir instead and sends Ani across the Forest to marry the prince of Bayern. All is well until Ani's maidservant gains the support of the guards and declares herself princess, and Ani is forced to disguise herself as a goose girl until she can expose the imposter. As a goose girl, Ani learns more than she ever had from her tutors in the palace. She makes friends, grows in confidence, develops new powers and even falls in love (this is a fairy tale retelling, after all). But can she find the courage to stand up to the fake princess once and for all?
