When Penelope's father is MIA during World War Two, her ex-military, toymaker grandfather travels to war-torn London to find him. He gives her a mysterious doll and an odd riddle as a promise they will see one another again.

Two weeks after they parted at the train station, Penelope can't take the uncertainty any longer. She ventures down to his workshop, hoping to find a way to decipher the strange words.

Instead, Penelope discovers she is descended from a mysterious line of magical toymakers called Trinketeers. Her grandfather and father have been held a prisoner in the land of Mystique by the command of The Master. Penelope must embrace her destiny as the next Trinketeer or lose all of them forever.
