Which makes it all the more remarkable that she alone has been chosen to save the mythical world from its certain doom. A mystery informer is planning to expose famous folkloric characters as charlatans who actually have very normal lifestyles, beset with petty concerns and insecurities, just like the rest of us.

Faith intercepts the letters and reluctantly sets about returning them to their senders.

As her adventure progresses, it becomes apparent that she is not the ordinary little girl she though she was…
