THE
STORY
The Goose Girl is the story of Ani ("AH-knee"), a young Princess betrothed to a Prince from a faraway land. En route to her new life, Ani’s lady-in-waiting stages a coup d’etat and – assuming Ani’s identity – manipulates the Prince into believing that she is the future Queen. Robbed of her identity and tending geese to survive, Ani discovers a world filled with promise as she befriends the townsfolk of her new home. When war between the two kingdoms looms, Ani must learn to harness the power inside of herself to save those she loves and create her own happily-ever-after.
