Seizing her last chance to find royals who can break her curse, she joins him and his Merry Men. Once in Faerie, the Summer king puts them through deadly trials, in exchange for his hand and help. But as they struggle to survive, Fairuza begins to fade. The longer her soul remains detached from her body, the sooner their tie will be severed. As her time runs out, she finds herself falling in love with Robin, despite knowing that this would doom her forever...
