On the run and caught by the police. Dreda thought that her friend Matis Lawson would save her but instead, he asks her a question:

'Do you want to break the curse?'

She gives no answer and he sends her to places and times unknown. Separated from everyone but her pixie friend, Alice. Dreda faces one of her grandest fears and just when she thought she had learned all there was of the world. She leans what she may need to turn it upside down once more.

Welcome to a world ruled by mythical creatures.
