Synopsis

The third The Books of Faerie story jumped forward from the previous volumes, telling a story in the modern era and reintroducing the popular character of Molly O'Reilly, cursed by Queen Titania and so unable to eat human food and left floating an inch above the ground. This brings her to the attention of the local media, and she is proclaimed a living saint by the Church – something which only adds to her black mood. As she tries to escape, she passes a toy shop which is selling a new range of fairy toys – one of which she recognises as the flitling Yarrow and releases. Yarrow tell Molly that she was accompanying King Auberon to the edge of Faerie to find the gemstone Twilight in the hope of undoing the wrong his wife did to Molly when they were attacked, and she ended up in the toystore.[11] Reluctantly, Molly agrees to go to Faerie to help free Auberon, taking her cat Fithy with her.
