"Autumn Ackerman grew up believing in fairy tales and magic, but now she's eighteen and facing reality: a future stuck behind the counter of her small town's coffee shop. Is this really all there is to life? But then, suddenly, Autumn's childhood imaginary friend reappears, and her entire boring world is turned upside-down. Autumn secretly belongs to the strange world of the Night Folk--a society of magical creatures like the ones from the stories she used to believe in. But this magical world is also a dangerous one. Now, Autumn must protect her loved ones from the frightening Mr. Balloon long enough to untangle the mystery tying the Night Folk to her own past"--Page 4 of cover.
