The story is about Allison, a young girl from a small village in France, who discovers she is a princess. She was raised by her single mother, who worked as an artist. After her mother got a job as a royal portrait artist, Allison was fascinated by the palace and its royal residents. She managed to sneak into the palace when she was nine and was captivated by its grandeur.
As she grew older, Allison developed a passion for painting and became better than her mother. She was also drawn to the palace's ghost, which had lived there for decades. When her mother was called to paint the Duchess's portrait, Allison followed her and managed to sneak inside. She was fascinated by the palace's interior and stole some items, which she later returned.
One day, Allison's mother was called to paint the king's portrait. When she slipped and sprained her ankle, Allison took over the task. The paintings were delivered to the palace, but Allison was caught and accused of being a thief. She was confronted by the king, who revealed that Allison was his long-lost daughter.
This revelation led to a series of events that caused tension between Allison and her twin sister, Charlotte. Charlotte, who had always been jealous of Allison, tried to claim the crown for herself. However, Allison and Charlotte eventually made peace and decided to share the crown.
Throughout the story, Allison learns about her royal heritage, deals with her feelings of being a thief, and faces challenges as a princess. She also develops a strong bond with her mother and her sister, and learns to stand up for herself and her beliefs.
