Grier Walsh may not be an official member of the Seelie Court, but she finds herself thrown into the center of it in Into the Otherworld. 

Grier grew up stuck between the practicality of her parents and the whimsy of her grandmother. She loved listening to the stories of her grandmother's childhood in the Irish countryside, truth mingling with fables and myths. Those wild stories inspired her to become a writer and taught her heart to yearn for magic, but  over the years the weight of reality dulled that passion. 

At the start of this story, Grier is lost and floating, desperate to touch again the magic that had once made her feel so alive. A college drop out searching for her place in the world, she travels to Ireland to connect with her roots. Once there, a single misstep has her falling into a world stitched together by strange magic and legends. 

Among the fae of the Seelie Court, Grier must fight against ancient spells, mystical royalty, and even her own heart to find her way home. 

Thayne Catháin was born to be king. He was raised knowing he would inherit the throne his father won in Mag Mell. His character--sharp and unflinching--was formed beneath the ever-present weight of knowing he would become the one true ruler of the fae.

After years of bloodshed between the fae and humans, Thayne's desperation led him to seek help from the twelve witches. That moment of weakness cost him everything. The witches struck the kingdom of Mag Mell from the earth and cast it away into the Otherworld. 

In the aftermath of the witches' magic, the Kindgom was split into the Seelie and Unseelie courts. The throne Thayne had been promised from birth was feeling less and less like a certainty, and the weight of failure pressed in on him from all sides. 

Thayne at the beginning of ITO is a king in crisis—desperate to hold onto power, desperate to do right by his people, and completely unaware of how much one human girl would change everything. 

As the Seelie Warlord, Leilah Amani always felt most at home on the battle field. She spent her formative years training with an elite and brutal group of fae women: The Sisterhood of the Morrigan. In all her training, Leilah had never lost a fight. She knew only victory and was raised only for war. 

At the start of Into the Otherworld, Leilah finds herself stuck in a world that hasn't seen so much as a single battle in over a century. A warlord in a land with no war—Leilah's patience is wearing thin. 

Haunted by the ghosts of all she lost when the Otherworld was created, Leilah has more reason than most to treat Grier's sudden appearance with the utmost suspicion and no small amount of hostility. 

After a century of stagnancy, her hard-won warrior instincts are being triggered again for the first time, and all of them point toward Grier.
