Dievča sa zaúča za knihovníčku v magickej knižnici so živými knihami, ktoré sa môžu premeniť na bizarné obludy. Nový magický príbeh "Mágia rodu Thornovcov" začína s Elizabeth, ktorá dúfa, že sa stane strážkyňou a ochráni kráľovstvo. V útoku na knižnicu utečie nebezpečný grimoár a Elizabeth sa ocitne v sprisahaní so svojím nepriateľom, čarodejníkom Nathanielom Thornom. Postupne si Elisabeth začne klásť otázky o všetkom, čo poznala, a objaví v sebe skrytú moc a novú budúcnosť.
