![]() ![]() En trahissant ainsi ce qui est considéré comme une faiblesse chez les Faés, elle a mis Corneille dans une position difficile, qui pourrait lui coûter la vie. En peignant son portrait, la jeune femme fait une grave erreur : elle le représente avec dans le regard l'éclat d'un chagrin tel qu'en éprouvent seulement les mortels. Les tableaux d'Isobel sont très demandés, jusqu'à ce qu'elle reçoive la première commande exceptionnelle d'un membre de la famille royale, Corneille, le prince d'Automne.

Isobel est une jeune artiste peintre de grand talent, qui travaille pour des clients bien particuliers : les redoutables faés, des créatures immortelles capables de jeter de terribles sorts. ![]()
