Isaac Wilde, a fictional nineteenth-century photographer, witnesses the wrath of vengeful fairies infuriated by the desecration of their home during an archaeological dig. Through photographs of the artifacts and Wilde's journal entries (purportedly discovered by David Ellwand), readers are invited to take a complicated journey into a mysterious place and time.
