Soon Maria finds herself in a crumbling moonlit world torn apart by the hatred of an ancient feud with the dark and sinister De Noir family. Maria discovers that she is the last Moon Princess and, guided by an unlikely mix of allies, she must overcome her family's pride in order to unearth the secrets of the past before the 5000th moon rises and Moonacre disappears into the sea forever.

And with your knowledge of animals,

I very much doubt it will

live to see the morning.

Keep out of the forest child!

Maria?

Goodness gracious!

Look at your...

dress!

Maria, there's something

alive on your body!

Miss Heliotrop, please calm down!

This is a Moonacre rabbit...

A beautiful, brave and serene creature.

I intend to look after it.

And I'm going to call her Serena.

Uncle?

I really think you and I

have some matters to discuss.

There are some very strange things

going on in this house.

First off, who always keeps my dress

and leaves the biscuits in my room?

The stars on my ceiling move.

There's a mysterious

white horse outside.

This place is falling apart,

things appear to move,

and the piano plays

music on its own!

I mean, I have never even

seen the kitchen.

So where on earth

does all this food come from?

Do you ever stop asking questions?

Uncle, I...

Sit down, my dear.

Wolf?

Where are we going?

Wolf?

Wolf?

Wolf?!

Marmaduke Scarlet.

Chef of all chefs,

at your service, Little Princess.

How do you do that?

Get me some sherbet, will you?

Chop, chop...

I'm not actually really sure

where your sherbet is...

Never you mind...I'll get it...

Are you the one who leaves

the milk and biscuits for me?

These past few days,

it all comes back to me.

Scarlet please, will you stop

yourself for just one moment?

Surely somebody in this household

must be able to answer my questions.

Dear Princess, a little bit of magic...

has come back to the valley.

You obviously haven't

finished reading the book.

The book?

But my uncle took it

away from me.

In the library,

you'll find a slim volume,

Secret Doors and Private Lockers...

Perhaps a piece of...

stargazer pie for your study.

The Moon Princess truly believed

in the goodness of all.

But the men soon fell to the greed

that was in their heart.

Each desperate to claim

the power of the pearls for himself.

We are the chosen ones!

These pearls stay with

the De Noir clan forever!

Father?

Come! Be with me.

Let Moonacre be your home

and be your family.

Speak true!

With the power of these pearls,

I can claim the valley for myself.

No.

Together, I mean together

we could rule the valley.

These pearls belongs to no man,

they belong to nature!

Give it to me!!

No! Give them to me!!!

No no no!!!

I beg of you... please!!!

You cannot let your heart

be ruled by greed!

Betrayed by those she loved the most,

the Moon Princess unleashed

the power bestowed upon her,

and cast a terrifying

curse over them all.

Hear me!!!!

You've gone against the nature,

and you shall suffer for it!

Nature will wreak her revenge

and put a curse upon this valley.
