Plot Summary: Wicked Nix and the rest of the fairies left him alone in the forest. He is heartbroken and lonely and confused, but he's also determined to keep the forest free of evil people so that the Queen of the Fairies will integrate him into the fairies again. When a people moves into a cottage, Nix promises to get rid of him. He threatens the people, but when he realizes the people are protections against fairies, Nix is stuck. Thankfully wise Rose has the solutions for daisy chain on the door and the iron nails scattered on the ground so that Nix can try his versions of his magical threats. Will Nix succeed? Will Rose find happiness?
