Tania and Edric return to the moral realm to let Tania's parents know that she is alright and to search for the lost queen Titania. Tania tells her parents that she went searching for Evan (Edric) when he disappeared from the hospital. They are upset and set a curfew for her, which complicates the search for her lost Faerie mother. Tania and Edric decide that the best way to find Tania's mother is to trace the package she received for her birthday back to the source. The package was postmarked Richmond and there are only two post offices in Richmond.<2>

Tania and Edric visit the first post office but no one remembered her mother. While resting at a small coffee shop, a waitress tells Tania that she had seen a woman that looked exactly like her. Fueled with new hope, Tania and Edric search the nearby streets and find a law firm called The Pleiades Legal Group (Pleiades meaning Seven Sisters after the characters in Greek mythology) <3>. Tania and Edric go to the receptionist and ask if there is anyone who looks like she does. The receptionist confirms that someone named Lilith Mariner looks just like Tania does, but another man denied that Mrs. Mariner has a daughter and they refuse to give up her telephone number or address.<4>

That night, three of Tania's sisters (Sancha, Cordelia, and Zara) come through a portal created by Eden to escape the Sorcerer King who was released from imprisonment by the betrayal of Rathina. Sancha, Cordelia, and Zara are frightened to be in the mortal world, but must adapt to remain unnoticed in case the Sorcerer King sent his Grey Knights. The sisters developed a plan to take Sancha to The Pleiades Legal Group so she could read the files and hopefully find a number and address for Lilith Mariner. That night, Tania and her sisters are discovered by Gabriel Drake who is now a Captain in the Sorcerer King's army and is leading a group of eleven Grey Knights.

The sisters escape to Jade's house where they hide until they can search out Mrs. Mariner. Once morning arrives, they take the train to Richmond and again enter the legal office. Luckily, the receptionist was different and Tania was able to keep her busy while Sancha used her gift to read the files. Soon they had an address, but they were attacked by the Grey Knights and again had to escape. Once they escaped, they followed the address to Mrs. Mariner's house where they are reunited with Queen Titania. Unable to help Tania return to Faerie by the mystic arts, the group devises a plan to melt black amber into a sword that Tania could use to cut her way into the Faerie Realm. Returning the Jade's house, Edric uses Jade's father's tools to melt the black amber gems onto a crystal sword.

The group decides that the best place for Tania to cut through to the Faerie Realm would have to be where the two realms come close. That left two options: Hampton Court or Tania's bedroom. Deciding it would be a bad idea to enter through Hampton Court into the Faerie palace, the group returns to Tania's home where they must fight their way through the Grey Knights into Tania's bedroom. Once there, Tania uses the sword to cut through to the Faerie Realm and takes Titania, Sancha, Cordelia, Zara and Edric through with her. Once there, they discover that things are not as they left them.
