It is the winter of 1897 and the new queen of the Seelie has declared that the forgotten halflings residing in the human world should learn about their heritage, possibly even visit their homeland. Chauncy, a full-blooded faery who has never crossed through the veil to the human world has been assigned the task of seeking out these halflings. But first, he is required to spend a season on Mackinac Island, Michigan, USA, living with a group of previously exiled fae who have resided there for nearly a decade, so they can teach him how to interact with humans.
Just as he is ready to start his assignment, he comes across his first halfling. A gorgeous, spirited woman who has been fumbling through life thinking she was a freak, when, in reality, she is a powerful, magical faery. Sparks fly as Chauncy helps Adeline discover this about herself. But there's a problem. The humans who raised her don't want to let her go. She's too valuable. And they are willing to go to great lengths to keep her under their thumb.
Including exposing the other faeries living on the island. Which could get them all hanged. And would ensure that Adeline can never visit her homeland. Fae in the Gilded Age in reading order:The Faery & the Jewel ThiefThe Faery & the Runaway HeiressThe Faery & the Lady's MaidBonus Scene: The Faery & the SecretThe Faery & the Halfling
