[Once Upon A Time 01] • Once Upon a Time Renaissance

Emma Swan's life has been anything but a fairy tale. She's been on her own

since she was abandoned as a baby—that is, until the night of her twenty-

eighth birthday, when Henry, a ten-year-old boy, shows up on her doorstep.

He's the son Emma gave up for adoption, and this surprise visit turns her life

upside down.

Henry takes Emma back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine, where, Henry claims,

all the residents are actually fairy tale characters who can't remember their

true identities. And if Henry's right, that means that his sweet-natured,

lonely schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard is really Snow White, the iconic

princess ... and also Emma's long-lost mother.

In Fairy Tale Land, we meet Snow White as a bandit on the run, forced into

exile by her stepmother, the Evil Queen. Snow's a young woman learning to

become a hero, who will do anything to live happily ever after with her one

true love, Prince Charming.

The closer Emma comes to Henry in Storybrooke, the harder it is for her to

ignore the dark curse that haunts this small New England town and binds her to

Mary Margaret. If Emma can learn to accept her destiny as Storybrooke's savior

and break the curse, she just might get the family reunion she's dreamed about

her entire life.
