Seven-year-old Mia pleads desperately with her human father to summon medical aid for her gravely ill mother during a full moon. Repulsed by the sudden emergence of her lupine features and eager to appease his vain new wife, he banishes the terrified child into freezing drifts. Freezing and abandoned, Mia is scooped up by Leon, ruler of the Moon Court.
Safely sheltered in royal chambers, Mia learns her animal heritage is a sacred royal lineage rather than a curse. When her birth father realizes her true worth and attempts to grovel for reconciliation, Mia stands proud beside the sovereign guardian who defended her without condition.
