| Henry Atherton helps clean up the house of an old, rather eccentric man named Mr. Fogarty, who is certain that millions of people are being abducted by aliens every year and that faeries really do exist. Henry doesn't believe a word of it, until he meets Pyrgus Malvae, a faerie prince who left his own world to escape the political tension there. But the situation in the Faerie Realm is even worse than Pyrgus suspected, and Henry and Mr. Fogarty both agree to help him return to his own world to save it from the scheming Fairies of the Night and the power-hungry Prince of the Demons, Beleth. From there, it becomes a race to see if Henry, Pyrgus, Mr. Fogarty, and Pyrgus's sister, Blue, can defeat their enemies before their enemies can get to them. | ||
