Deston Lespérance assumed that once he defied the odds and bested Grossard, the malicious solitary faerie who had imprisoned his parents, he and his family would live ‘happily-ever-after.’ That’s how the stories end in movies, but it's just Deston's luck that it doesn’t work out that way for him. Fitting in with the fae and learning to access his new found powers is not as automatic as he thought it would be. To make matters worse, he learns Grossard survived the collapse of the chantry and is now more resolved than ever to destroy his family and the high realm. And Grossard actually might succeed this time now that he has joined forces with an old adversary, Mordred, who knows where to find the Shard of Erebus, which would unleash the ultimate darkness into the world and wipe out the light forever.

Though Deston isn’t sure he’s ready to take on Grossard again, destiny waits for no one, not even the secret Prince of Tir na-nÓg, and ready or not, he’s drawn into a new challenge of locating and destroying the Shard before Grossard and Mordred find it. With only his dreams to guide him and Margaux to help him figure out the clues, he heads out on another epic adventure, fully aware the stakes are even higher than before. But little does he know the sacrifices he’ll be required to make. As his world crumbles around him and his friends fall, he hangs onto one glimmer of hope—that the fae power and strength truly does reside within him, and that he can actually become the hero the fae claim he is.
