Somewhere in the multiverse, there is a Fae realm where the realm was split into dark and light areas by the Primordial being who created it after a horrible magical war almost destroyed everything. Peace lies lightly across the land and there are forays into the lands of Light by the forces of darkness, but neither side has the ability to do large scale war across the Boundary the Primordial created. Recently, people doing research on magical transportation have begun disappearing. Greed and power struggles threaten to unleash ancient power that could waken and wipe out the foundation of the current civilization. And someone is trying to smuggle a critical device to the Shadowlands that could give them just the key to attack the Light and win, or destroy everything. So why does a former school teacher surrounded by a flock of pixies seem to be connected to so many involved with the chaos about to unfold?
