## World Building

### Setting

Prythian (pronounced: Prith-ee-en) is one of the Faerie realms in existence in the world. It is divided into seven courts, each ruled by a High Lord.

### World

Prythian is composed of seven separately ruled lands called "courts" consisting of four seasonal courts: the Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring Courts, and three solar courts: the Night, the Day, and Dawn Courts. It also borders the Mortal Lands to the south, with the only separation between them being the Wall, and lies east of the Kingdom of Hybern.

### Protagonist

Feyre Archeron
Feyre is hunting in the woods behind her home. Her family, formerly rich but now poor due to her father's bad investments, are starving and she is the sole provider for the family because her father lost enough mobility to try to provide for them when one of the creditors they owed broke his knee. Her sisters, having never had to try to provide for themselves before, do not help her very much at their small shack in the woods.
Nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Cassian and Nesta face their haunting pasts as they battle monsters and search for acceptance and healing in each other's arms.
