Synopsis: Henry Whelp is a resident of St. Remus, a correctional facility for troubled adolescents. But not just any adolescents--adolescent wolves, foxes, ravens, and other animalia. The hominids have since moved to Eden, the fabled city of the fairies built in the sky above St. Remus and the earth-dwelling animalia. One day, the fairies just vanished, and took their magic--their wonderful, amazing, destiny-inducing magic--with them. No more fairy godmothers or godfathers. No more fairydust to help your dreams become a reality. Now all that's left is the dust runoff, which pharmaceutical companies have begun to mine and sell to the surface-dwellers. They refine the dust and make it cure almost anything--headaches, toothaches, broken bones; it can even be used as an anesthetic. Dust monopolies have formed, and some animalia have begun to sell it on the streets, like a drug.
Meanwhile, Henry has discovered a packet of letters from his father, who is in prison for killing Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. In his letters, he reveals a terrifying and deadly secret about the dust monopoly and its leader, Skinner. Are the fairies really still alive, like Henry's father believes? And if they are, where are they? It's up to Henry and a small band of misfit hominids and a she-wolf named Fiona to find out.

Henry takes some very potent dust that makes him understand the bloodlust that caused his father to kill Red Riding Hood. Some blood, some gore.
