SUMMARY:
Quinn wants desperately to travel to outer earth before she gets sixteen. To see the place where people drop coins into the pool and make wishes. And one day, quite by accident, Quinn gets her wish. Now she doesn’t know if she will ever get home again.
Cam and Melikar were shocked when the princess had already gone. Eventually, they finally knew what was wrong, knew how will Quinn get back to their kingdom and knew how to get rid of the king and queen.
Quinn was already on Earth. Alone in the forest, had met the dyrads. Had also met outer-earth folk and followed them to the woods.
In the woods, Quinn had a chance to be close with Sarah, Adam and Mondo. She followed them up to the Shakespeare Festival. Still confused on the surroundings around her, she followed them up to their home. Quinn tell her secret, her life and her world to the Dover family and in return, the Dover family would help her cope up with her new environment.
Her first day on Earth would be on a school bus and it was quite puzzling.
At the kingdom of Mandria, Cam was already missing Quinn from his abrupting nightmares. Ameka also knew where Quinn was and would be a secret.
At the school where Dovers studied, Quinn tried to cope up with her subjects. However, her love affair with Adam grew stronger with Zack becoming jealous. Now it’s even harder for her to decide in going home because of Adam’s affection, the ring and the wonder of Earth.
The next day, Zack and Adam decided to have a jousted match in a rival to be the escort of Quinn in the Halloween dance that made Sarah angry and jealous with Quinn. Quinn felt sorry for Sarah, she didn’t want Zack crushing on her. Mondo tell Quinn of his disapproval with her affair with his guardson, Adam.
At the kingdom of Mandria, they read the fire to know what was going on now with Quinn to the other world. The only way to protect Quinn is by travelling to Quinn’s dream with the use of Cam.
Zack won the joust match and from then on, Adam never appeared to met with Quinn.
Before the Halloween dance, Mondo told his story to Quinn to convince her to leave Adam and went to Mandria.
At the Halloween dance, Zack escorted her all the way. At the dance also, Sarah confessed to Quinn that she told the Mandrian secret to Zack. Outside the school, Quinn and Adam met again telling their dreams to each other. Interrupted by Zack, who forced Quinn to come with him. He forced Quinn to hand him the magic ring. But Quinn’s wit, she placed the ring to Adam’s jacket and gave it to Sarah. Quinn ran away from Zack and crammed for ways how to get out into the wishing pool, and she made it. Princess Nevermore of Mandria has come home.
However, on Earth, Adam felt sad, he was too late, the princess was already gone. On the other hand, he felt happy for the memories they’d shared together through the ring she had left with him.
