Our tale begins in Faery Born when Isadora Scrumpleton (Izzy) is finally found by her familiar. The only problem is that he is a dog, an unprecedented event in the witching world. But even though his presence gives her access to her magic, she is unable to control her powers.
When the Faery Queen, Eloise, comes knocking on her door, Izzy learns that not only is she half-witch, half-faery, but that she is a dream-walker who roams the dreamland Trillania while she sleeps. In Trillania, she has been dating the scrumptious Aethan, a Faery Prince, and son of Eloise.
Unlike other faery dream-walkers, she has no knowledge of this because her witch-half, which is dominant in her waking hours, allows for no memory of these night-time dalliances.
After goblins crash her eighteenth birthday party, Izzy joins the faery Border Guard and starts officially courting Aethan. Galanta, the evil goblin Queen, takes a personal interest in her and her relationship with Aethan. Izzy eventually realises that Aethan has been trapped into courting her by his Border Guard binding, a spell that prevents them from talking to others about Trillania.
Humiliated, Izzy runs away from him during an expedition into Trillania and calls Emerald, a dragon, to her. She rides Emerald into battle against the goblins, but is overcome and captured. Galanta tortures her, but an unexpected effect of the torture enables her to access her powers and escape.
After she has healed, Aethan reveals his true feelings for her, but is immediately kidnapped by Galanta. Izzy rides with the Border Guard to the Black Mountains in their bid to save him. There, they encounter a barrier that only she and her arch-nemesis, Isgranelda, are able to pass.
She and Isgranelda traverse the mountain and find Aethan unconscious, but alive. Isgranelda sheds her shape-shifting guise to reveal she has been Galanta all along. A vicious battle erupts between the two, but Galanta escapes before Izzy can kill her.
Izzy drips blood onto the rock where Aethan sleeps, releasing him from Galanta’s spell. The rock splits in two and, as a strange wind blows around her, her two sides merge and her memories of Aethan return. He wakes as she kisses him, but when he opens his eyes and looks at her he has no memory of her.
The rest of the Border Guard arrives as goblin drums begin beating. They flee down the mountain and back to Isilvitania. Izzy returns to her home, quickly falling asleep so that she can access Trillania to see what Galanta is up to. She is horrified to see Galanta weaving a spell over the rock on which Aethan lay.
While Izzy watches, Galanta sacrifices a little girl, releasing her blood onto the rock. A shape begins to emerge, flowing out of the rock until a man has formed. As the man speaks, Izzy is horrified to realise that Galanta has released Santanas Gabrielle, the mad War Faery, from the stone he was imprisoned in 12 years ago.
The story continues in Faery Forged when Orion asks Aethan to forge an alliance with the dark faeries by traveling to their land and bringing him home a bride.
Aethan chooses a small force to travel with him, and even though he still has no memories of her, Izzy finds herself a part of it.
Disaster strikes when they are discovered while trying to cross goblin lands. They are forced to flee but are separated when they jump into the river dividing the goblins’ lands from the giants’.
Izzy ends up with Isla and Aethan, but they find that the rest of their band has been captured by giants. With the help of a friendly giant, they are able to rescue their friends and continue onto the home of the night faeries to carry out their mission. They are surprised when King Arracon offers up his own daughter and heir to the throne, Princess Ebony, to be Orion’s bride.
With Santanas’s power growing, their return trip proves to be even more treacherous. They are pursued by monsters as they race to take Ebony to Orion. Samuel, Ebony’s personal slave, leads them to a safe place, but Wilfred is attacked and dies as they arrive.
Samuel has led them to an ancient place of worship and, while Isla weeps for her lost love, he prays to the Goddess Ulandes. She emerges from a statue and brings Wilfred back to life. The payment for this is that Wilfred and Samuel must reside with her in her land.
They continue to Isilvitania without Wilfred. Shortly after they arrive, Izzy overhears a conversation between Grams, Aethan and Rako in which she discovers that she is not what she seems. Before she can find out exactly what she is, goblins attack.
When Izzy risks her life to save Orion, Aethan declares his love for her. And although they are able to save Orion, they are horrified when they realise his good friend Legas has been taken to be sacrificed in a black magic ritual.
Orion insists on coming with them as they ride to save Legas. They follow the goblins to The Henge, arriving as the sun is about to rise.
Orion and Izzy fight their way to Legas, but when they get there, she finds it is not Legas strapped to the rock, but Orion himself. The Orion they have been traveling with is none other than Galanta, the shape-shifting Queen of the goblins.
With the use of Izzy’s blood, Galanta is able to perform the spell that bonds Santanas into Orion’s body. Izzy and the newly-resurrected Orion fight, and with her new-found knowledge that she is a War Faery, and the help of the narathymia, Mia, Izzy is able to maim Orion enough to allow them to escape.
They return to Isilvitania where Queen Eloise takes her pain from losing her son out on Isla. As the faeries prepare to seal the veil for a thirty day mourning period, Izzy takes Isla home with her. The last thing they see before the veil is shut, is Ebony being presented as a bride to Aethan, the new heir to the throne.
