Auradon—the kingdom of royalty. Ever since Beauty and the Beast were married, they had a vision: to create a kingdom exclusively for the princes and princesses of fairy tales. This kingdom would offer them a place to study, where they would be welcomed, protected, and free to grow without fear.

The source of this safety was simple: the villains were imprisoned. On an isolated island not far from Auradon—separated only by a magical bridge—all the villains and their children were banished. From the most insignificant mischief-makers to the most terrifying evildoers, they were forgotten by time and the rest of the world, cut off from the internet and any means of communication.

Yet, there was one person who couldn't ignore them—the future king of Auradon, Xiao, the son of Beauty and the Beast. Each time he gazed out of his parents' office window, a sense of guilt gnawed at him. The villains may have deserved their fate, but their children... what crime had they committed? They had no choice in their parents' actions, yet they were forced to bear the consequences.

Determined to make a change, Xiao presented his case to his parents. After a heated discussion, he convinced them to allow four students from the Isle of the Lost to attend Auradon Prep. His goal was simple: to prove that the children of villains were not destined to follow in their parents' footsteps. The chosen four were the children of Cruella de Vil, Jafar, the Evil Queen—and, to the greatest shock of all, Maleficent.

On the day of their arrival, Prince Xiao stood at the entrance of Auradon Prep, anticipation and nervousness swirling within him. Despite his apprehension, he wore a warm smile. By his side stood the daughter of Sleeping Beauty, ready to welcome the newcomers and offer them a chance at a better future.
