That dreaded possibility seems more real than ever when one day Isobel’s regular patron Gadfly announces that she can expect a visit from the Autumn Prince. So great is Isobel’s talent that rumour has it she will one day be invited to drink from the Green Well, and become a fair one herself-though it would mean losing her Craft forever. While the fair folk are masters of glamour and enchantment, they cannot truly create in the manner of mortals, but their appetite for human Craft is insatiable. It was the most wicked form of fairy magic, and the most feared.”Īlthough she is only seventeen, Isobel is the best painter in generations, and her Craft is coveted by all the fair ones who visit the artisan village of Whimsy to purchase human artistry. To do so would be to expose oneself to ensorcellment, by which a fair one could control a mortal in body and soul, forever, without their ever knowing-merely through the power of that single, secret word.
