Book excerpt: Fionna, a quiet young teen and a handful of her friends take advantage of an unusual break in the winter weather and embark on a backpacking trip into the ancient redwoods. Everything is perfect until an unexpected storm rears its ugly head. Tragedy strikes and one of their numbers goes missing, leaving the others desperate for answers. Fionna is found by park rangers' days later in the heart of the ancient forest, a mysterious portion of the park that others have never seen. A place where the trees are massive and ferns grow larger than expected. A place where voices an Celtic music echoes in the breeze. When the recovering teen awakens from her mysterious coma, she is surprised by her dreams of ancient fairies and the fulfillment of her strange family legacy. To accomplish this Fionna needs to convince the rangers that fairies exist, and get them to put aside their differences and help. The quest becomes easier said than done when miracles happen, strangeness becomes the norm and a relentless reporter tries to blow the lid off the impossible. Do fairies exist? Can ancient trees ultimately save man kind? It's always better not to find out the hard way.
