When Faylinn Frost is woken up in the middle of the night by a fairy tapping on her bedroom window she thinks she is dreaming. The fairy turns out to be very real however, and she begs Faylinn for help. The fairy kingdom of Coldhaven is under attack from the evil Nathaniel and his creature, Sniffle. Nathaniel is capturing fairies and harvesting their magic dust to sell to the greedy people of the south lands. He has taken so much golden dust that the fairies can't make enough magic to control the weather and Coldhaven is warming up. The Fairy Queen has already moved north to find colder weather and if winter doesn't return soon, the Ice Elves and Snow Fairies will have to follow her. The remaining fairies are convinced that Faylinn Frost can find a way to defeat Nathaniel and return Coldhaven to winter. Faylinn isn't sure, but she is determined to do all she can to help.
