Like most humans Rain had always thought the land of Faerie to be part of a bedtime story, a land where fair maidens had wings and handsome young men with pointed ears and magical powers slew dragons. A place so saturated with magic as to exist in another realm altogether, ruled by a kind and benevolent Queen. Reality and fantasy are rarely the same. Rain joins in the search for Aurelia, Cyprian's sister, finding herself pulled into this strange land by the spirit of Faerie itself. With the aid of Cyprian's childhood friend Kheelan she must make sense of clues, both found and given, in order to find Aurelia and learn what she was protecting. The heart of Faerie is at risk, and Rain alone has the keys to keep it beating, a fact that threatens her life on more than one occasion. Cyprian's arrival in Faerie 600 years after his banishment pulls the past into the light; casting it in stark relief as startling revelations alter his world and he must confront the witch who cursed him.
