When Ivy Peterson sees the most extraordinary thing in her own backyard- a fairy - she dismisses it as another daydream, but she quickly realizes that it was, in fact, the real thing. She goes in search of the mythical creature, and accidentally falls into Zandria, a magical world that exists just outside her own. Unfortunately, she finds that she's trapped there. Someone has stolen the Talisman, a magical amulet that controls the five gates between Zandria and her own world. Ivy and her new friends, the wizard Arden, his young apprentice Connor, and a pair of fairies, set off on a quest to reclaim the Talisman of Zandria.
