N2  - It's Karnawal season in a snow-cloaked kingdom of Lechija, a time of wintry balls and wicked disguises, and cavalcades of nightly torch-lit sleigh-parties. But among the oblivious merrymakers, two monsters join in the fun, descending upon the ancient capital in the guise of two innocent girls. Newfound friends and polar opposites, Zosia and Marynka seem destined to have a friendship that's stronger even than magic. But that's put to the test when they realise they both have their sights set on Lechija's pure-hearted prince. When neither will sacrifice their ambitions for the other, the festivities spiral into a magical contest with both girls vying to keep the hapless prince out of the other's wicked grasp. But this isn't some remote forest village, where a stray enchantment or two might go unnoticed. If Zosia and Marynka's innocent disguises continue to slip, their escalating rivalry might cost them not just the love they might have for each other, but both their lives
