The Fae are a well-known mythological presence who have been referenced in thousands of poems, books, songs and films, over the centuries. They are as mysterious as they are elusive. My Contemporary Fantasy series, The Borderlands, features them ... well, in a way. Spoilers are ahead.

While 'Fae' is not a word used commonly in 'The Borderlands' trilogy, the people who dwell there call themselves the simalrly aligned 'Seelie', and being set in Scotland, this makes sense.

Though some of them do indeed hold such power as to ensorcel a whole planet!
