20th century-born Lord Martin Melbourne had received his master's degree from Oxford but was also well-learned in folklore and the Tuatha De' Danann legends. He knew that fairies weren't pastel-colored, exaggerated flying insects—they were real entities with remarkable skills. They could move from one place to another easily—or from one time to another. He had studied The Letters, the centuries-old epistles written by the time traveler Evie to her 21st-century daughter, Leah. From these, he learned that a human, too, could move through time. He had done it himself, traveled back to 1781, and saved the life of his sons' ancestor. Now he wanted to go back home to 2013. But he was lost in the wilds of North Carolina. He needed his new Cherokee friend to show him the way back to The Trees, the magnetic time portal between the centuries. But first, he'd have to wait until Red Shirt was done with him.
