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.

Yet all these become somehow less important compared to Ferry's biggest concern - the girl he likes might not feel the same.
