The great land of Akna is under the threat of the Hollowers, the infamous enemy no one seems to know about. As his fairy abilities are growing, so are Ferry's doubts about his purpose in this strange, new world -- is he really the Saviour of Akna or he's just a tool in a twisted game of power led by obscure forces? In a turn of unexpected events, Ferry loses his magical skills and is forced to run and hide from his own people along with Matilda with whom he has a complicated relationship. To gain his abilities back, Ferry must complete five magical tasks. Mere humans now, Ferry and Matilda must find their way back to their friends and to the Moon's Tear in a world hostile to humans. Furthermore, the fae folk seems to be the reason for the unexplained disappearances of people in the human world. Will they be able to succeed in a foreign, dangerous land? And how are they going to complete this difficult challenge when their feelings for each other are growing with each task?

"People in this town are more bound to fairies than they want to admit..." These words have been haunting Ferry for the past six years. Ferry Donovan is a sixteen human-years-old fairy with an interesting life. During the day, he behaves like an ordinary youngster, spending time with his friends, doing his chores, and dreaming about a special girl. At night, he must train to become the Saviour of Akna, his fairy homeland. Everything changes when a boy comes to town, saying he is the lost son of Ferry's human-parents. Now, Ferry and his friends - both human and fae - must find out who this boy is and what are his intentions. Meanwhile, the town of Goodharts is preparing to enter the seventh year since the last vanishing into the Shepherd's Forest. But this is not the strangest of the things occurring. Over the years, Ferry has learned that the Pride Mansion hides many secrets, and they are all connected to an odd reunion of rich people called The Quest. Yet all these become somehow less important compared to Ferry's biggest concern - the girl he likes might not feel the same.
