"David Sullivan, a Georgia mountain-boy, comes to grip with having the second sight and discovering that realms exist that others can't see that are full of faerie-folk who don't much like the human "iron" world that's cutting through the world walls. It's up to him, Alec, and Liz to save Dave's brother and uncle from the evil Sidhe Windmaster Aillil, who's turning the Sidhe against humans and wresting power away from Lugh, King of the Faerie."
