In the Land of Magic, four friends live a life filled with wonder. But there's one rule they must not break: never set foot on the Island of Darkness. So, when one child does the unthinkable, they must all pay a terrible price - exile to Wasteland, the bleak world where only grown-ups live. For Grace, this fate is particularly cruel.

As Grace uncovers the Invisibles' secrets, she must work out a way to return home, before Wasteland traps her forever...
