Like every other citizen of the Federation of Sentient Planets, Lunzie Mespil believed that no harm would come to her, but when the planet pirates attack the space liner on which she is a passenger, she might have to suffer more than just inconvenience.

Keith Doyle, business major at Midwestern University, with an unofficial minor in mystical studies and magic overseen by his Little Folk friends, flies off to spend the summer on an educational tour of archaeological sites of the British Isles and Ireland with his best friend, Holl. They hope to locate signs of Holl’s long-lost relations as well as to help fulfill a traditional rite that will permit Holl to marry his beloved Maura. Keith’s reckless exploits attract the attention of not only magical folk who are far less friendly than the Little Folk back home, but human smugglers. The Master and Keith’s girlfriend Diane are forced to come to their aid. Can Keith keep from losing his college credits and Holl his one chance at happiness?

Third in the series of “hilarious enjoyable myth-adventures” from the New York Times–bestselling author of Mythology 101 and Mythology Abroad (Crescent Blues).   Holl, Keith Doyle’s best friend, has finally tied the knot with his beloved, Maura, in the Little Folks’ new home, Hollow Tree Farm. Keith has good news of his own: he has started on an internship as a copywriter with a Chicago advertising agency, coming up with slogans and designs for new products, but the project he is really enthusiastic over is chasing air sprites in a hot air balloon.   Unfortunately, one of the agency’s client businesses is using the Little Folks’ land as a dump for toxic waste. Holl’s young cousin Dola sees them do it, but they see her, too. To prevent anyone else from finding out, the men kidnap her and Holl and Maura’s new baby, Asrai.   All of the Little Folk are called in to hunt for them. Keith reaches out to the new and wonderful air creatures he’s found in hopes of bringing the baby and her brave guardian back to the farm.  Praise for Jody Lynn Nye and the Mythology series   “A great sense of humor.” —Piers Anthony, New York Times–bestselling author   “A good, jolly read . . . a book for people who like their fantasy straight up, with fizz, but without cuteness.” —Diane Duane, New York Times–bestselling author   “Wonderfully whimsical.” —Anne McCaffrey, New York Times–bestselling author
