Every fairytale you have ever heard had a beginning. Part of every
fairytale is truth, an event or a person that actually existed. Over
thousands of years the tale turned into a fairytale, something told
to children at night, a tale of myths and magic.

What if I told you that everything that happened in fairytales was
real?

That the creatures of magic, the Fey, actually existed?

Not only do they exist, but they were invited to the USA and have
found a home there since the 1800s. The fey; the Sidhe, Pixies,
Goblins and demi-fey live in the mounds of Cahokia, in the western
part of the U.S. state of Illinois. They mostly keep to themselves,
remaining in their Sithens, and only a few Fey regularly venture into
the human world.

There are two Sithens, one for each of the Courts. There is the Seelie
Court where the creatures of light and dreams exist. Then there is the
Darkling throng, the Unseelie Court, darkness to the Seelie Courts
light. The Unseelie Court is home to the creatures of nightmares.

For thousands of years both Courts have been at war. The war quietened
when they reached American shores. It was one of the many restrictions
put on the Fey; no more wars. They had torn apart Europe with the wars
between the Sidhe and the Goblins, and Europe no longer wanted pure
Fey on their soil. It was agree to peace or give up everything that
made them Fey.

True peace never happened... attacks, assassinations and all kinds of
plots took place in the land between the two Sithens. Magic hid some
of it, but the ruler of each Court knew that it was just a matter of
time before the humans noticed something was wrong. America was the
last country that welcomed the Fey, and the King and Queen knew this.
Discussions began, ending with a decision; the King's only son would
marry the Queen's youngest daughter. A betrothal between the Courts
to end the fighting and begin real peace.

Things are never that simple though... The Unseelie do not want a
Seelie on the throne....Angus, the Unseelie Prince, is known as
Seelie-Bane... and Bryanna is far from your typical Seelie Princess.
