Wendy Everly ha diciassette anni, capelli sempre arruffati e un carattere insolitamente difficile. Vive con il fratello e la zia in una piccola, noiosa cittadina di provincia. La madre è ricoverata in una clinica psichiatrica, da quando ha tentato di uccidere la figlia il giorno del suo sesto compleanno. E stato allora che Wendy le ha sentito pronunciare per la prima volta un'accusa terribile: di avere in qualche modo preso, alla nascita, il posto del suo vero figlio. Adesso le giornate di Wendy trascorrono pigre, tra un liceo dove non s'impara nulla di davvero eccitante e una vita sociale e familiare prevedibile e monotona, quando va bene. Condizionare le azioni altrui con la forza del pensiero potrebbe essere un modo per scacciare la noia, ed è proprio quel che le capita e che non sa spiegare. Uno strano potere che viene da lontano ma di cui lei non può ricordare l'origine. A offrirle una conturbante risposta sarà Finn, un affascinante ragazzo da poco in città che si manifesta una notte alla finestra della sua stanza. È infatti lui che le rivelerà la sua vera identità di change-ling e le dischiuderà le porte di un mondo attraente e sconosciuto, duro e sconvolgente, dove la magia è di casa. Un mondo percorso da insidie cui Wendy scopre dolorosamente di appartenere, e dove le è riservato un destino più grande di quanto lei possa immaginare.
