Mal stands at the gates of Dragon Hall, plotting her next scheme. As Maleficent's sixteen-year-old daughter, she rules the school through fear and cunning. But when she learns about a dragon's eye hidden in the Forbidden Fortress, Mal sees her chance to prove she's the most evil villain of all. The eye holds the key to escaping the Isle of the Lost, where all Disney villains and their children have lived in magical imprisonment for twenty years. Mal recruits three other villain kids for the dangerous quest: Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen; Jay, son of Jafar; and Carlos, Cruella de Vil's inventive son. They must navigate the island's dark mysteries and their own rivalries to reach the prize. But Mal discovers the dragon's eye carries a terrible curse that will trap whoever touches it in eternal sleep. As the four teens work together despite their evil heritage, they begin questioning everything they've been taught about good and bad.
