The island of Inishrún, small and forbidding, holds a deeply protected secret. The sidhé, a magical race as old as the earth, also known as fairies, live there. This is their final stronghold in a world that has forgotten them aged only by human cruelty. Holly Tremenhere, jaded and disillusioned by the ordinary world, travels across the wild sea from the coastal village of Weaey Bay, to the island on the second-to-last ferry before winter closes the crossing. She is there to unravel the mystery of who she truly is and the only living person who can tell her is her beautiful, estranged aunt, Mim. What Holly does not know is that some men will do anything for greed. Some she thinks are untrustworthy are good, and not all dogs are just dogs. She is about to be thrust into the heart of a mystery, a time out of legend and an inheritance that will forever change her; one that culminates in a magical but deadly redemption and a journey in time where love reunites. Including an Author's Note on the usurpation of indigenous lands and the entirety of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, this fairy tale is unique.
