After Mariko’s disappearance and her shocking revelation that she is a witch, Kai moves in with Lance. His gift—Second Sight—pulls him into a reality hidden from ordinary people, one that requires strict supervision. So Kai remains in England under careful control by a secret bureau.

And in Witsbury on the eve of the summer solstice, a child goes missing. It turns out that fairies are capable of true cruelty: on festival days, they take people away, and the only way to get a captive back is to go to the Fairyland and pay a special tribute. Lance takes on the search, and the bureau orders Kai to go with him. Ahead lies a dangerous journey—and the worst part is that you may not choose to return… Will they be able to save the child? And what role does Fairyland play in this story for Lance himself?
