It's been a year since Darkstone opened the doors between Earth and the fairy dimension, ushering in magic and mythological creatures—a year fraught with miracles and disasters as mankind struggles to live with forces long deemed imaginary.
Wild and youthful Gillie flees her English home to roam this new world. Her travels take her to Portland where she meets Lindsay, the girl with the blue hair. Gillie's attraction is instant, but something magical has chased her across America and she shouldn't stay long.
Formerly homeless, Lindsay's devoted her life to helping street kids. Gillie's appearance at the outreach center sparks a dread allure, one that urges her to overstep the bounds of social propriety. The question is moot after something ethereal targets both her and Gillie, burning down her apartment building.
With no safe haven, they are on a desperate scramble for answers, hopping freight trains to escape their pursuers. Who wants Gillie dead and why?
