Two months ago, Megan found a genie. Now, the bottle's gone and her wishes don't work. Her popularity's slipping, she's suddenly failing all of her classes, and she's getting ready to get kicked off the track team. She hasn't used all of her wishes yet, so what could be going on? When Jake finally shows back up at school, he's not talking to her; he's not even acknowledging she exists. But things had been going fine before, weren't they?

When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away.
