One day, Linden's summoned by the dying faery queen, who tells her that she might be their only hope for survival in the near future. Without their magic, the faeries are slowly dying, and they have been for years.

There's only forty-something faeries left in the sacred oak, and very little magic remains.

When Linden visits a faery friend (Knife from SPELL HUNTER), she comes into contact with a human boy. Timothy's having trouble fitting in at school and he's on suspension at the moment. He comes to his cousin's home for refuge to find his cousin and his wife whispering urgently, but not telling him anything. After a fight with them, he decides to run off to London.

Linden views his escape as her chance to find other faeries who might help her tribe regain their magic. She becomes a stowaway inside his backpack. Little does she know that by concealing herself, she will endanger his life. While in London, their path crosses with a dark, evil faery looking to sap Timothy's musical talent.

With no other choice, Linden reveals herself, allowing them both to escape. However, it's only a matter of time before they discover more about the evil faery realm and its ruthless queen.

Linden's story takes place fifteen years following the conclusion of SPELL HUNTER. It takes her from her tree to London and through the countryside of Wales. The faery situation in this addicting series becomes darker, the danger more pronounced, and the risks greater than ever in this beautifully written world created by R. J. Anderson.
