The Realm is slowly fading - its Heart Stone vanished. They say she is the one. The one to solve the mystery and return the heart of the realm. But the Darkness wants it as well, so they can have the Realm for themselves. Whisked away from her home and family Gail shrinks to fit. She finds it difficult to accept where she is, who they say she is and what they expect of her. With help of four others they all risk life and limb travelling in and out of the human world and beyond. Will Gail accept that she really is one of the little people? Will she and her twin brother get their wings? Will they succeed? ...And all this because Gail wanted the one book she was told not to take from the library.
