On her third adventure Rose Iris must return with her dear friend Leanora to the magical world, to save a Chinese Princess from a wicked wizard. The Princess's father is dying of a broken heart because his beautiful daughter has been kidnapped, so they must hurry. There are many dangers along the way, and they meet a lot of people and unusual animals. Some are nice and some are not very nice at all. They encounter Petrina the witch once more and they have a new friend called Droodle who can be very naughty indeed. They only allow him to accompany them because he knows the whereabouts of the secret door to the wizards castle.
Although Petrina's magic does not cause the two travellers a problem, the wizards magic is much stronger and delays their progress.
Something really terrible happens to Leanora and their journey is interrupted whilst they try to return things to the way they were before.
Rose Iris is becoming very wise and Leanora tells her that one day in the future, she will be able to cross from the human world to many other magical worlds whenever she wishes, without the help of the old Gypsy, who as we know is also a witch.
When their quest is completed and they are returning to the human world they encounter two more of Leanora's friends who are both terribly sad, and Rose Iris wants to help them solve their problems.
Finally, when the two travellers arrive back in the human world Leanora gives Rose Iris four unexpected and wonderful gifts.
