When a statue unexpectedly comes alive and foists magical abilities on them, Nyree Forester and her younger brother Elias are thrust into a world of sorcery and faeries. The children find their new powers both amazing and terrifying. Nyree can weave spells of wonder and beauty so long as she doesn’t get distracted. Elias gains incredible strength and agility – if only he could stop turning bright blue. They must learn how to handle their new skills, fend off the attentions of competing faery courts, get used to living among a cast of mythological beings, discover more about their enemy, and hopefully avoid getting grounded for staying out after bedtime.

Nyree and Elias Forester are back in the thick of it. Bullies at school. Open hostilities between the two Faery Courts. Witches in the woods. The looming threat of the Coranaid, an ancient enemy who can hear any words spoken anywhere in the world. With all this a closely held secret from family and friends, Nyree and Elias have few allies to fall back on. The arrival of refugee gryphons from the middle-east provides the final spark for war among the Faeries. But what drove the gryphons from their home? Could it be related to the Forester's own enemy?
