Stephen is supremely happy with his two fairy lovers but let's face it, who wouldn't be? The fact that it's all possible thanks to his being uploaded into two identical fairy clones is neither here nor there. But something is amiss in this idyllic world. Zenith, the beloved pet wolf of Tricks, has run away and everybody is asking why. The answer to this mystery is as simple as it is compelling. But will Zenith ever come back home to his grieving owner? And that's not the only problem on the horizon. Is the horrific history of the dreaded Vile invasions to be repeated? The Vile - a nation of crazed, merciless demons who ravaged the underground civilizations generations ago in an orgy of blood and fire. But are they about to reappear to continue where they left off? It's up to Stephen and his companions to discover the truth and that truth turns out to be as astonishing as it is disturbing. They barely escape with their lives and have to carry their unsettling discovery back to the fairy settlement. But one thing is for sure. The whole fairy history will have to be rewritten. And what will become of Zenith? His solution to that situation is both heart-warming and totally unexpected.
