Princess Penelope thought she was through with evil wizards and mysterious discoveries. The dark wizard William, an unfortunate distant relative of Penelope's family, was defeated. The secret room of Yendor, William's ancestor and even darker wizard, was opened and its contents, hundreds of gemstones full of powerful magic, were now safe and sound with Rutherford, Astoria's royal wizard. The last thing Penelope wants is to be swept off on another magical adventure. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for Penelope. While attending a leadership summit in Astoria's neighboring kingdom of Galanthia, Penelope is kidnapped and finds herself a prisoner aboard a pirate ship in the Dragosian Sea. The pirates' mission is to find a mysterious treasure buried on a deserted but dangerous island. Only Penelope has the ability to find the treasure, a fact which is keeping Penelope and her family safe... for now. While Princess Penelope waits for rescue or an opportunity to escape, she deals with new foes, cranky pirates, and even more dark magic. What will happen to Penelope when the pirates find their treasure, and will she ever see her friends and family again?

Twelve year old Penelope has a pretty normal life - for a princess anyway. Her family rules over the peaceful kingdom of Astoria, with lots of time for tea parties, lessons with her royal instructor, and the occasional joust. Life in Astoria wasn't always so peaceful... hundreds of years ago, battles and dark magic abounded, with evil wizards seeking power and wreaking havoc across the lands. The chaos was defeated, however, and all magic faded from existence - or so it seemed.Princess Penelope's life suddenly becomes a lot less normal when she finds herself at the center of a magical mystery - an evil wizard unveiled in her family history, a secret door hidden for centuries discovered in the castle garden... As Penelope pieces things together, she finds herself in dangerous situations, crossing paths with a villain that is trying to bring the practice of dark magic back to the forefront. Princess Penelope has to rely on her wits (and a little bit of help from her friends) to solve the mystery of the secret door and protect its contents from getting into the wrong hands.
