Whatever expectations you have of delightful and whimsical fairies are
sure to be disappointed. There are certainly fairies, but most are not
proper fairies. Some who are supposed to be nasty are disappointingly
nice, while some who should be kind and helpful are disconcertingly
surly. Our heroine is, perhaps, the worst offender--a sprite more
interested in books than carefree games, who insists on being called
Shade. She is on a quest to find a place her outré self can call home. A
place of companionship, comfort, and, most importantly, positively
filled with books.
