The History

The Veil between the worlds has been, for centuries, securely fastened, tightly locked. Working to keep the Veil intact, the worlds balanced, have been the Gatherers—a much fabled and often misinterpreted breed of Fae who gather souls, who feed on souls. They are the balance between the world of the Fae and the world of the Humans. In order for members of the Fae to cross between worlds, they need a Gatherer to guide them, to lead them to and through the gates. Without them, only the blood of Humans, known as Keys can secure the passage. But at a price.

Within the realm of the Fae there are two courts—that of the Seelie and the UnSeelie. The Seelie court is the lighter, happier, much more generally subscribing to human ideals of the Fae and the UnSeelie court is darker, much more menacing. They have waged mythic wars in the past, but for the past several centuries they have been calm, subdued. Weary.

Now, there is a rip in the Veil between the worlds, a rip that allows the Fae into the human world unaided, and Humans into the world of the Fae. With the rip, there is an outpouring of transfer and with that a war is building between the courts, and humans are faced with a force they have long since forgotten, long since ignored.

The Gatherers are working to close the rip, to stem to outpouring of magic into the human world, to halt the malicious intentions of those in power. However, always a small, select breed, Gatherers began disappearing as they arrived through the Veil, and now only a handful are left, sent to bring forth the most powerful Gatherer of all, one which has no idea of her powers.

As the Fae begin to settle in this previously guarded Human world and Humans begin to notice that changes implemented by those who feel they are privileged because of innate abilities, the two begin to clash and only the Gatherers and, surprisingly, the Keys have the ability to save the two worlds.
