This is the Isle of the Lost. An isle trapped inside a barrier that cancels all magic within; that prevents those trapped inside from ever leaving. On this isle, you'll find everything the United Kingdoms of Auradon doesn't want to remember: the broken, the unfixable, the rotten trash, and the worst of the worst villains.

Who then have children.

Join us as we follow these unfortunate, forgotten kids who have to grow up and survive in these conditions. The children of the most notorious villains in the history of all the kingdoms. Mal's gang. Uma's crew. And two OCs.

How will they deal with everyday growing pains? And who can they turn to when nothing is right and they can't even understand how they feel? <<less
