Golden-brown, beautiful Rook (autumn and summer folk are darker skinned spring and winter lighter) kidnaps her in retaliation in their uncomfortable flight they fall for each other, dooming themselves to death. When she paints sorrow into the eyes of the autumn prince, she becomes embroiled in a complex web of fairy-court intrigues. Fair-skinned human Isobel, 17, is a portrait painter of unsurpassed talent who has mastered the art of wrangling practical enchantments from her clients. In Regency-esque Whimsy, where time seems suspended and it’s always summer, humans practice Craft (making) for the pleasure of the capricious fair folk. A practical painter meets a tortured fairy prince, and layers upon layers of magic and intrigue engulf them in this debut.
