Stacy, a flawed 14-year-old, discovers that some fairies aren’t cute, they’re deadly! Moving home and with a new school looming, she’s waring with her parents, abandoned by her best friends- Jas and Anjali- and feels like her life is over. Totally. After a weird and beautiful dream, she is inexplicably drawn to a mysterious wood, where she discovers fairies horrifically sacrificing a child. Trying to save the girl, Stacy drops her phone after a stranger recognises her, scares her off and warns her to stay away. How can this stranger know her?
Nights later, Stacy returns to the wood so she can find him, her phone, and clues about the children she now knows are missing from the local neighbourhood. Under the mentorship of Bower, a centuries old wizard, she must balance the need for survival with her deep desire to connect with the wood, or risk becoming just another human sacrifice.
With the ceremony fast approaching, can Stacy find strength from absent friends and family or will she succumb to the guiles of the dangerous and beautiful Queen who has dark ambitions of her own? What can one green fingered teen possibly do to save not just the other imprisoned children, but the entire human race?
