Maddy spends her days herding sheep and day-dreaming about the day when her and her boyfriend Donald will own their own farm and property; but while Donald is away earning money, Maddy finds that her grandmother's stories have more truth to them than she realized. One evening, when a lamb goes missing, Maddy goes deeper into the Hills of Damar to find it, and when she does she also discovers a gray creature called a Stone Fey, just like the one's in grandmother's stories. When Maddy starts spending all of her days with the Stone Fey, her family and beloved sheepdog, Aerlich, worry that Maddy has forgotten what is really important and therefore has forgotten who she is. Can Maddy resist the mystical power of the Stone Fey before it is too late and she looses not only her family but the love of her life, Donald?
