Ash lives in a pseudo-historical Celtic society in which magic is just starting to be regarded as superstition. She first meets Sidhean, a handsome, seductive fairy, then forms an unlikely friendship--and falls in love--with the king's huntress, Kaisa. The juxtaposition of Kaisa and Sidhean as Ash's suitors invites readers to consider the nature of fictional and folkloric constructs of romantic ideals.
