--Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer

What if you discovered you had magical fairy powers? Meet the girls of The Fairy Chronicles, otherwise normal girls like you who are blessed by Mother Nature with special gifts. Their extraordinary adventures will change the world ...

Magic surrounds us, though we can't always see it. Gnomes add color to the plants in our gardens, doves deliver our good dreams, gremlins occasionally break our things and Mother Nature keeps the balance between the light and the dark. But just because you can't see something doesn't mean it can't hurt you.

Luckily, Mother Nature has blessed some otherwise ordinary girls with an extraordinary gift: in addition to being girls, they have been granted a fairy spirit, each one as unique and beautiful as the girls themselves, each as wild and powerful as their counterparts in nature. Watch Dragonfly zoom by with the speed of her namesake, or witness Firefly use the incredible light that shines within her. Each fairy spirit is a powerful gift granting the girls who use them the ability to do amazing feats. But with power comes responsibility and the fairies might have the hardest of job of all: to protect Mother Nature and us, even though we don't even know they existed. Until now ....

Even for magical creatures, a wish is an incredibly powerful thing!

What could have caused these magical creatures to act so strangely? And why do they all seem so much happier now?

Primrose must use her detective skills and the help of her fairy team to solve this one!

Mother Nature has asked that the magical creatures of the world take part in a challenge for her. The Cave of Courage, which supplies courage to all creatures the world over, is beginning to run dry and it needs to be replenished. To do so, Mother Nature has asked that a team be put together of various magical creatures, led by the Fairies, to complete a set of tasks before nightfall.

Periwinkle, who has just been officially adopted by the Martinez family and who has just gotten back from a trip to see her great-grandfather in an Indian reservation in New Mexico is chosen to be the leader of the team. This time the team will have not only four fairies, Periwinkle, Spiderwort, Rosemary and Cinnabar, but will also have representatives from other magical creatures. Tom the Leprechaun will lend a hand, along with Annie the Troll, who is so forgetful it might be hard for her to do much good, Mr. Ambertoes, the wood gnome, and, most interestingly, a Dwarf who might just have to give up the greatest secret a dwarf has (his name) if the Cave is going to be restored.

It is the challenge of the century and usually would be no problem for Fairies, but this time they are going to have to not only trust each other but other creatures as well, something not everyone is good at..

At the command of Queen Elizabeth, Skye marries the cruel Duc de Beaumont de Jaspre. Although her new life is horrid at first, Skye transforms it with her hot-blooded desires--only to be shaken with the news that her beloved former husband may be alive in Algiers.
