Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love, violating the fair folks’ ruthless Good Law. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes – a weakness that could cost him his life.įurious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumn lands to stand trial for her crime. But when she receives her first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible mistake. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized among them. Synopsis: Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. The crisp spice of pine sap infused the cool air over a musty perfume of dry leaves. Vivid moss speckled the branches like tarnished copper. Rising from the forest floor, the black, tangled roots breathed a bluish mist that reduced the farthest trees’ trunks to ghostly silhouettes, yet left their foliage’s luminous hues untouched. A scarlet carpet unrolled before us, rich and flawless as velvet. The golden leaves flashing by blazed like sparks caught in the updraft of a fire.
