Wszyscy wierzą, że obok naszego, realnego świata, istnieje drugi, w którym magia jest możliwa, ryby mówią ludzkim głosem, a las zamieszkują wróżki, gnomy i inne stworzenia. Drinkwaterowie są z tym światem nierozerwalnie związani i chronieni, jednak z czasem – wskutek upływu czasu i zapomnienia – ta więź słabnie i na rodzinę spadają kolejne nieszczęścia. Również świat ogarnia powoli szaleństwo.

Aby przywrócić równowagę światu bohaterowie powieści podejmują próbę ponownego zawiązania tej więzi.
