Summary

In the closing hours of World War II, an experimental weapon meant for London struck Eilean nan Sìthean, a remote Scottish island. Within 48 hours, all of the men there died. Six months later, the few women who survived gave birth to the children of the plague - the Fair Folk of Scottish mythology, reborn. Nearly 70 years later, a young gold named Màiri discovers an outsider washed ashore - the first human she’s ever seen. Saving his life would mean spending the rest of her days with a stranger, the sworn enemy of her people. But she cannot let him die alone.
