Alice sees her father talking to a...fairy? But this fairy looks nothing like she pictured. This fairy is yellow and black and seems to be threatening her dad. Not soon after her dad says he has to go away on a trip, but his ship goes down at sea and is presumed dead. As she is taken to live with Uncle Jerry, she begins on an adventure she was not expecting. "Uncle Jerry" turns out to be Geryon, who has a bit of magic and can "read" himself into books. Alice discovers she too possesses this gift when she accidentally gets sucked into a book and the only way out is to kill what is prisoned inside it. As she tries to figure out what happened to her dad, and begins to realize she can't trust anyone, Alice decides to begin to trust herself and look for her own answers.
This is the first book in the trilogy.
