En el tranquilo pueblo de Ballyglen, la llegada de Bella Blackwell, conocida como 'La Mujer Pájaro', perturba la paz del hogar de los Murphy. La abuela Rose sospecha de Bella, y Rory desconfía de ella, pero Mia, de diez años, cae bajo el hechizo de la anciana. Bella le cuenta a Mia sobre un lugar lejano, un mundo donde los dragones, los gigantes y la magia antigua aún existen, y le pide a Mia que se convierta en su aprendiz y aprenda los viejos caminos. Una noche oscura, Mia desaparece y Rory, decidido a encontrar a su hermana, la sigue a un mundo en el que no cree. Montando el 'Sabueso de las Sombras', viaja a una tierra extraña de criaturas legendarias y peligros terribles. Bella usa todos sus poderes para evitar que los hermanos se encuentren, pero Rory comienza una valiente búsqueda para rescatar a su hermana, romper el extraño encantamiento que Bella tiene sobre ella y encontrar el camino a casa.
