Everything changes for soon-to-be-princess Ella on one disastrous weekend when the prince calls off their engagement and Ella's best friend, Megs, is kidnapped. Ella refuses to sit idly while Megs is missing, so she forms a plan to search for Megs, and the other missing elves. The search is to be led by the most elite group of elvish fighters, the Hunters. Unfortunately, this will require the cooperation of Ella's ex-fiancé, and the fighter general who is as impossibly handsome as he is grumpy. When Ella is finally permitted to join the search, she must train to be a fighter. During this time, Ella learns that the fate of the elvish race depends on her. Ella only ever wanted to be a princess, but now she must figure out who she really is, survive a dangerous new career, and save the elvish race.
