When Sly and his multitude of little silver Droplet fairies come into the kingdom of Queen Iris and bid she welcome them into her world, she quickly dismisses them as pests and intruders. The little Droplet fairies become angry and take matters into their own hands and dark trouble quickly erupts. This infuriates the queen, but rather than negotiate a solution with the new arrivals, she simply throws herself down on the mountain and weeps. Pinky, the head master of the Rainbow fairies, sees at once that their world is in great danger. And so, with a prayer to the Maker of All Kingdoms, he heads down the mountain into a place called Hollow, in search of the Granter of Wishes.

When Mira Kaul’s parents are killed by a troll, she is forced to serve the whims of the town’s prickly miller, Shem Langheart, because no one else will take in another mouth to feed. Now at age eighteen, she seems doomed to remain as a maidservant to an ungrateful guardian and his nosey son, Jarin. But one night, a riderless horse wanders out of the forest near her home.

The miller fears an attack is coming . . . but Mira can’t just leave the warrior out there in the forest to die. There are creatures born of the night that have no love for humans, and if they discover an injured man wandering the forest alone, his fate would be sealed with blood. Mira knows exactly what would happen to him, for her parents died on a night like this.

For all his wicked genius and evil intentions, the villainous Basil Blizzard lacks the "insane" aspect of being a Mad Scientist. Nothing infuriates him more than the fact all of his marbles are completely in order, unlike the Blizzards before him. He believes insanity will make him great like his ancestors. Sounds like a crazy person to me, doesn't it? Well he's not and he knows it. Therein lies his dilemma. On the other end, the brilliant and excruciatingly nice scientist, Dill DeMorrow, has created Nutmeg, a little girl who he raises as his daughter. She is adorable. She is equally brilliant. She is made of cake. And what Dill doesn't know is that Basil has recently become aware of the power granted to anyone who makes a birthday wish from a candle planted in Meg's small, spongy, cake hand. Blizzard will stop at nothing to obtain her and through the use of a menacing, reptile-like camera, Nutmeg will be forced out on a dangerous and wacky journey unlike she could ever imagine.
