Since Alfred and Saga put a stop to the mayor's motorway, and saved the land of Faerie, everything has been a bit quiet. Too quiet, for Saga. All she wants is to go back to the mystical world they discovered, but for some reason Alfred can't stay far enough away...
But when Mayor Underwood announces a new construction project, the Faerie world yet again comes under threat and Alfred must journey deeper into the magical land than ever before. As her friend is whisked away to a place where she cannot follow, Saga has her own mystery to unravel - and it may just be the key to everything.
