Isobel lives in Whimsy, a little pocket of fairyland, along with her aunt and March and May, her twin ex-goat siblings (ex-goat because.well.

But something is seriously amiss in his world, and they are attacked from every side. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes, a weakness that could cost him his throne, and even his life.įurious, Rook spirits Isobel away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime.
