Songs of the Ethereal Realm

Esme, a twenty-year-old Fairy, encounters a wounded man in the forest during one of her flying escapades and decides to help him escape from the Jaguars, a dangerous sect of mages. She thinks she will never see him again, except she does... on the first day of the new academic year at the Institute of Magic she attends. It turns out he is the new professor her father has hired to search for a magical artifact that grants wishes.
The heads of the Institute are her father and grandmother. But she has only known them for a year, and not just them, but the entire Ethereal Realm, a magical world that exists above the reality we know.

What are the chances that the stranger is the first link to her mother's disappearance? After all, she has been missing for two months, and the magical artifact the stranger was looking for in the forest was discovered by mages around the same time. But is he revealing the whole truth? And why will not Esme's grandmother - the Evelyn Avram - help her at all?

Finding the answers to these questions and setting out with her best friend Alanna to find her mother is only the beginning of Esme's new life, from which she can never return.
