Cara is a shy fifteen-year-old whose backyard ends where beautiful, fog-shrouded Blackthorne Forest begins. She has always wondered what's hidden behind the frequent fog, and has begun to wonder if the forest has some connection to the mysterious father she's never known. As she begins to find answers to her questions, she learns that magic is more than just a fairy tale, and that there are dangers she must cope with in her father's magical world.
