Summary

Alex Wilson thinks she is an average suburban girl living in Melbourne, until her 16th birthday, when exotic visitor, Kuru, shows up in her backyard with a magical elephant, Anala. He informs her she is the heiress to the throne of the magical Indian kingdom of Manjipoor. With his help, the reluctant princess will master her magic powers and defend her royal inheritance against her devious cousin, Vashan, whilst balancing the pull of both worlds to find her true destiny. In the second season, Alex and her family have moved to the Gold Coast. Her friend Amanda has followed her there, where they attend university and plan to find a new drummer for their band. Meanwhile, in Manjipoor, Diva has returned to take over Manjipoor and learn the secrets of The Book.
