The year is 1895. Olive and her small tight-knit band of faeries are living on an island in Lake Huron, tucked between the upper and lower peninsulas of the state of Michigan.
They weren't supposed to be in this world. But fate had altered their paths, and they managed to carve out new lives as jewelry makers in the human world. It truly wasn't that difficult, considering they had magic at their disposal.
All they needed to do was ensure that none of the locals?all human?became aware of their heritage. If the humans knew what Olive and her family really were, they'd be lynched before the next sun rose above the edge of the chilly water.
Life was lonely at times but, in general, peaceful.
Until he showed up on the island. Joseph Lancaster. Along with his entourage of thieving humans and...
A halfling child.
That wasn't going to work. That child needed a faery to help guide him, protect him. Olive determined she was that faery.
What she hadn't counted on was her attraction to a handsome human like Joseph.
