Until people start disappearing.
They turn up, dead on the side of the roads in a few days, of course, but with their eyes milky white and the color drained from their skin. And what's more, Ryan, Piper's best friend since she was eight, starts acting strange.
One day, he disappears and when Rowan and Piper set out to look for him, what they find is beyond anything anyone could ever dream of imagining.
Three fifteen-year-old classmates, with nothing in common but secrets that divide and threaten to destroy them cross paths with a mischievous and naughty poltergeist/fairy. Ciaran- an anxiety ridden, pyromaniac thinks he is a superhero and can see fairies. Rowan-a conflicted homophobic bully with a secret boyfriend. Promise-shattered by the abandonment of her father and the haunted house she is forced to live in with her drunken mother. When Ciaran and Rowan cross paths with a fairy named Sonjoni, Ciaran discovers that he is not a superhero at all but Merlin's murdered son and like his father was becomes a portal to Tuntematon. Rowan and Ciaran unintentionally end up in Tuntematon where they discover they are pivotal elements in an ancient plot of revenge orchestrated by Ciaran's supposed mother. The fairies in Tuntematon must kill Rowan before the giant spider does. Though Ciaran does all he can to help Rowan survive, he fails miserably, and it takes something more than magic to save Rowan. It will take True Love.
