There, they hope to uncover the nature of a looming threat that endangers all the Western Isles.

Dabei muss Allison erst einmal herausfinden, wie es um ihr eigenes Herz bestellt ist. Denn das wird nicht nur von dem gut aussehenden Wächter Finn erschüttert, sondern auch von einem dunklen Prinzen, mit dem sie mehr verbindet, als sie je geahnt hätte.

Denn von nun an heftet Finn sich an ihre Fersen, der zwar verdammt gut aussieht, aber leider ziemlich arrogant ist und obendrein behauptet, ein Elfenwächter zu sein. Er verlangt von Allison, das Tor zur magischen Welt wieder zu schließen.
