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.

You and I are the same.

Except...

Except?

Where I failed,

you might succeed.

What about my uncle?

Sir Benjamin... can't he help?

Never, ever mention that man to me again,

do you understand?

Your past is behind you.

Your future awaits you

if you want it.

You decide.

I want to help.

I just don't know what

I'm supposed to do to begin.

Find the pearls!

Nobody knows where they are.

Each family blames the other

for taking them.

They are both to blame.

The De Noir took the casket

then we must have the key.

The key!

Now for the casket.

You have to take me there.

- Where?

- To De Noir.

You've to take me

to where they live.

There it is!

Loveday...

are you alright?

I'm sorry!

I can never go back there!

Loveday!

Loveday!

Father, I could pad and place a scythe

and nail it under their roof.

Don't go near Moonacre...

that house is damned!

No...

the word is...

she is about to meet her downfall.

How kind of you to join us,

Moon Princess.

Oh...

Oh, and what is this?

She has brought us

the lost key, gentlemen!

Wasn't it terrible of the De Noir

to have the moon pearls

hidden up here all the time...

haven't we?

Well, it's true isn't it?

Your ancestors stole them!

My ancestors?!

Well, perhaps Princess...

I should introduce you...

Maria Merryweather...

the last Moon Princess.

Sir William.

The very first De Noir.

The pearls casket!

And you so very kindly

brought us the key.

You've hidden them!!

They were never there, girl!

Your filthy Merryweather family

took them!

Before he...

picked up the box!

They stole the pearls.

But soon...

the final moon will rise...

and the thieving Merryweathers

will be punished!

I'm glad that we have you here.

There's nothing anyone can do to stop it!

At last the entire valley will be ours!

And the De Noir will finally

feast upon revenge!!

Leave me alone, you ogre!

You know,

for someone in your predicament,

I have to admire your spirit!

Witch!

Hey!

Lock her in!

Welcome to your new house!!

Hope you make friends

with the roaches!

Guard, watch her...

she's slippery.

Where is that girl?

Unbelievable!

Absolutely irresponsible!

Oh, this dress!

Come back here, you witch!!!

The girl has escaped!

Princess!

What're you going to do now?

She won't find her way

out of the forest.

- She can't have come this far...

- Let's try north!

Go Robin, find her!

I want her killed!

I want her to stop the curse.

Their death is our victory!

Stupid girl...

should have stayed where you were.

Robin!

This way!

Oh... Wolf!!

Quickly!

Can you find the way home?

That demon dog

can't protect you forever!

Now that be Miss Maria home, sir.

Uncle Benjamin...
