Shunned and ridiculed ever since a fairy mistakenly bit her, Ally leaves her village knowing it's the only way her family can resume their normal lives. She heads to Wendal, hoping the shifters there won't care about the little problems associated with a fairy bite.
Before she is even halfway there, she discovers that the fairies may not be finished ruining her life. If she wants to leave Birk, she'll first have to contend with the little people, a very ornery gargoyle, more than one prince and, of all things, an enraged dragon.
