After risking her life in the mortal world, the faerie princess Elora returns home to incite a revolution. Allied with the Bright Queen, Elora rallies her people for a battle against her mother, the corrupt Dark Queen. While some question their ability to win, Elora senses victory, knowing she has a secret weapon: Taylor, the human boy she loves, along with a motley crew of his school friends, each armed with a skill that can turn the tide of the coming battle. But Elora's supporters in the Dark Court turn on her, believing she has forsaken them in favor of humans. And when the Dark Queen kidnaps two of her human allies, Elora resolves to mount a daring rescue mission—before her mother can offer up her friends as a sacrifice.
