Maeve's simple trip to Scotland is not what she expects. She has been named in a prophecy as the one ot save a mystical world that lies directly next to this one—but Maeve is a twenty-first century girl—how can any of this be true? She finds out on the night of the winter solstice when her great-uncle Brandubh kidnaps her. While trying to get away she clutches the present from her mother—a beautiful moonstone hanging around her neck. In the next moment she finds herself alone in a n unfamiliar forest in a world she doesn't recognize with no one to show her the way.
