A tower, where the Natural Philosophy of alchemy is studied; a palace, which houses both duty and family; and an island, where a princess knows the land, and is part of it. She must abandon all of it when every child's (and many adults') worst fear ap- pears in her garden, in a handbasket-a faerie. At the mercy of such a dangerous creature's threats, Briyan and her friend Thea are forced to flee their island kingdom, leaving their families fearful, their own lives uprooted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut faerie abductions are seldom simple.
