Everyone is invited including a prophet who advised the king and queen that their daughter will face a blanket of calamity; all was invited besides Reighdon, the town’s evil sorcerer, who was not even asked to come and celebrate the newborn princess, but to enact his revenge Reighdon shows up to the party and curse the princess with a curse that when she becomes sixteen, she will befall bad luck and be cursed forever.
Filled with rage, the king exiles Reighdon into the Forbidden Mountains. On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Lucky is the luckiest princess of the town receiving the best things, and then she meets up with a young warrior, Theo. And everything seems to be perfect, but on midnight her most lucky day becomes tragic when she befalls bad luck; and now she is experiencing bad luck replacing her good charm and everything she touches either wither or is ruined. Horrible about it, she goes to the prophet, who predicted this would happen and tells her she needs to find her “good luck charm” in order to reverse the curse she was given on her birth. Ready to find her charm, Lucky soon meets a quirky hare, Tyi; the duo continues their travel until she meets up again with Theo, who was sent by his father to watch over her by the orders from the king so that she won’t get into trouble. Continuing their journey, the trio will face daunting challenges especially when Reighdon realizes Lucky will find her charm and break his curse, so he will do at nothing to prevent that from happening.
