Not. Grandma's. Fairytale.When eight-year-old Molly Culpepper arrives at Rowanmere House with her older brother Colin and little brother Alfie, she expects nothing more magical than misty fields and Great Auntie Millicent's gardens. She certainly doesn't expect to discover a tiny, winged being with the power to heal-a fairy, or Phaerae-Princess Auralya of Phaer, "Aura" for short.
Aura rescues the children from danger, but before she can return to her hidden Queendom, she mysteriously vanishes. Her devoted companion Daerion turns to the children for help before the Withering, a deadly phenomenon that makes the human world poisonous to Phaerae, claims her life.
Aura's disappearance ignites political unrest in Phaer, where a ruthless commander seeks to blame humankind and spark a war. To save her, Molly, Colin, and Alfie must work together-solving clues, outsmarting henchmen, braving ancient magic, and daring escapes.
To find Aura, Molly, Colin, and Alfie must trust each other as never before-creeping across rooftops, escaping ill-tempered henchmen, discovering hidden rooms, and uncovering long-buried secrets.
In the heart of their unlikely friendship with a fragile fairy princess lies the fate of two realms. To save her, they must find courage-and believe.
Because sometimes belief itself is the most powerful magic of all.
Perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and The Spiderwick Chronicles, this series blends British charm with shimmering high fantasy, offering timeless adventure for readers young and old.
