After an opening night performance of Giselle, Ballerina Mave Etherwood came home and found her husband in bed with another woman.
What exactly transpired afterward remained a mystery, even to Mave herself.
The next morning, her sisters found her passed out on the floor in the hallway. The husband and his mistress were dead. Mave has no recollection of what happened.
She and her sisters fall under scrutiny from the "wingless," of this realm, as they try to hide their faerie identities from prying eyes.
But what those around her remain oblivious to is the fact that she is a faerie, losing control of her powers in this non-magical realm due to fatal illness.
