Unfortunately, her improvised rescue attempt ends in death-her death. As if surviving death isn't weird enough, her magic takes on a life of its own and starts creating flawed ghosts. While struggling to control her magic, she's forced to deal with a deadly band of pixies, amorous advances from the intimidating dark prince, and political upheaval in Fairie that's left the entire realm in chaos.
