Our friends Peter, Katy, Trev and Mari are off on an adventure to another dimension. In this espisode the group are traveling with the flying horse creatures and the all of the fairies, Thyme, Lily and Aristi, who is the fairy king and Thyme's father. Although Aristi and the fairies are usually alerted to any danger by their sensitivity, it does not seem to protect them in this unknown dimension. Trev is attacked by a cherub creature whose bite is poisonous. Katy takes part of the poison on herself to help Trev survive until Thyme and Lily can return from the human's dimension with the healing crystal.

What has forced our little group into this unusual dimension, which the fairies have never visited? What is the mysterious carnivorous plant that is decimating the forest around Peter's home in the human's dimension? It seems to be ingesting all of the forest and it's creatures. What about the interest in Mari's healing abilities by a new group of unscrupulous characters? Why have some of the victim's of Dr. Mader who were healed by Mari in our last episode become physic? What is the thing that has taken over Peter's house and what is it capable of doing to our group of friends when they return to the human's dimension?

There is a lot of adventure and suspense in this story and vivid descriptions of a strange and wonderful new dimension. This is a well-written story as always, I was however a little confused by the abrupt ending and can only assume that there will be another story to tie up all the loose ends.
