The most she's ever received in exchange for one of her teeth is a chewed up toffee. Real fairies don't like to be talked about, and they cast spells if Tanya steps out of line.

After all, real fairies are nothing like the ones in books ones that grant wishes or leave money for teeth. Having the ability to see fairies means that Tanya Fairchild's life has never been easy. But will she make it back, this time? Or will dark forces finally claim her. Haunted by awful dreams of Hedgewitch's cottage - and of Eldritch, who swore revenge when she left him there to die - Red fears the fairy realm is about to draw her back in.

But staying out of trouble isn't as easy as she'd hoped. She's now living at Elvesden Manor under her real name, Rowan, and trying to put her terrible adventures behind her. Can Red, Tanya and Fabian find all the charms? And even if they do, will the fairies keep their promise? and the longer they are missing the worse the consequences will be. The charms now have twisted qualities of the thirteen treasures they represent. Returning to Elvesden Manor, Red is assisted by Tanya and Fabian and a desperate hunt begins. Her brother will be returned - but only if she can find the thirteen charms of Tanya's bracelet that have been scattered in the human world.

Now trapped in the fairy realm, she begs an audience with the fairy court where she strikes a bargain. When fairies stole her brother, Red vowed to get him back. The manor's sinister history is about to repeat itself. And, after disturbing an intruder in the night, it emerges that someone else shares her ability. But Tanya has her own secret: the ability to see fairies. Together, Tanya and Fabian decide to find the truth. His grandfather was the last person to see her alive, and has lived under suspicion ever since.

Fabian, the caretaker's son, is tormented by the girl's disappearance. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods nearby – a girl Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. While visiting her grandmother's house, an old photograph leads Tanya to an unsolved mystery.
