![]() Down the gangplank they staggered, wrestling with luggage that seemed extraordinarily heavy - old leather grips bursting at the hinges, packing cases about to break apart, bulging valises, blanket rolls barely secured by straps and so heavy that it required two men to hoist each one to the dock. The buzz increased as it was noticed that their tattered clothing was still stained with the mud and clay of some far-off northern valley.Īn outlandish scene followed. A long line of men in miners' hats was clustered at the deck railing and now, as individual features began to emerge from the blur, it was seen that these were men aged beyond their years, gaunt and unshaven, their faces leathered by the sun but with eyes that glittered feverishly - picture-book prospectors, in fact. Somewhere along that obscure waterway, so the rumours hinted, something electrifying had happened.Īs the ship drew closer, a murmur rose from the crowd.

But if she fails the test, she instead takes on “Winter’s chill” and becomes the “Winter Girl”, which is kind of like a runner-up position that involves serving the Winter Queen for eternity.

The plot is fairly simple and easy to articulate: Keenan is the Summer King, but the majority of his power lays dormant until he can find a human to become his Summer Queen. So, naturally, the story kicks off when a faery manifests himself in human form to try to pick Aislinn up. She can’t let on that she can see them, because that would attract their attention, which is the last thing she wants. They’re everywhere but ordinarily invisible. ![]() In Wicked Lovely, Aislinn is a teenage girl like many other teenage girls-except she can see faeries. ![]() ![]() Thanks to their firm grounding in folklore across Europe, with plenty of hints as to a larger society and hierarchy, faeries offer a reach source of material when one needs supernatural creatures with a little class. Zombies, too, prey upon our fear of a loss of self and self-determination. Vampires are really very individualistic, singular monsters: they are an outward manifestation of our obsessions with mortality, sexuality, and appetite. Supernatural creatures capture our imaginations for all sorts of reasons. ![]() ![]() ![]() Louise Shore also serves as executive producer.
