Chapters (34)

TUATHA DÉ DANAAN OR TUATHA DÉ: (TUA day dhanna or Tua DAY) (See Fae above) A highly advanced race that came to Earth from another world, comprising the Seelie and Unseelie.

UNSEELIE: The “dark” or “fouler” court of the Tuatha Dé Danaan.According to Tuatha Dé Danaan legend, the Unseelie have been confined for hundreds of thousands of years in an inescapable prison. Inescapable, my ass.

V’LANE: According to Rowena’s books, V’lane is a Seelie Prince, Court of the Light, member of the Queen’s High Council, and sometimes Consort. He is a death-by-sex Fae and has been trying to get me to work for him on behalf of Queen Aoibheal to locate the Sinsar Dubh.

VOICE: A Druid art or skill that compels the person it’s being used on to precisely obey the letter of whatever command is issued. Both the Lord Master and Barrons have used this on me. It’s terrifying. It shuts down your will, and makes you a slave. You stare helplessly out from your own eyes and watch your body doing things your mind is screaming at you not to do. I’m trying to learn it. At least to be able to resist it, because otherwise I’ll never be able to get close enough to the Lord Master to kill him, and get vengeance for Alina.

*Denotes a Light or Dark Hallow
