"Die, die the hand is mine, to be human, is to live your life in
the blind." "There was mud in my mouth, my knees dripped blood onto
the uneven pavement-little spatters of crimson rain. I bit down on
my fist. I wouldn't cry, it would only distract me from running."
"Ahead of me, a little girl is sleeping in the alley, her hand
clenched around a bundle of forget-me-nots. The moonlight spilling
on her pale skin turns her from innocent to wraith. Two days ago, I
was her, a forgotten face in a sea of the living dead-yet I was
different. At night I would shed my human skin and go back to my
own kind. Go back to my world with wings of light to carry me
through the sky, where no element, flame or weapon forged could
claim my life." "That was two nights ago, I am a fairy no longer.
Tonight, I am human...and if they catch me, I will die." On the day
the god Cronus was born, it is said, the earth quaked and screamed
at its core. The cliffs bordering the sea crashed together, flames
shot into the open sky. Each flame carried a Seelie fairy. In their
blood flowed the magic of the old worlds and the fire of
immorality. The Unseelie were formed in the ashes that fell to the
ground, they carried no flame and could die. The ruling gods struck
an accord with the Unseelie who protested their fate: Every hundred
years, a Seelie fairy must be human for three days, in that time,
the Unseelie could hunt their immortal flame, and gods would close
their eyes. A princess of firelight and next in line for the Seelie
throne, Selyara is a girl who wants only freedom. Given no
protection, she must face three days as a human, alone. Lavara sits
on the Seelie throne as queen regent until Selyara has completed
and survived her human trial. If Selyara dies, Lavara will take the
throne. On the first eve of her humanity, Selyara stands under the
moon, trying to accept the fact that, like so many ancestors before
her, she may not survive the hunt. Brought up in the ways of the
Unseelie and trained as a blood hunter, Lore captures the fairy
named Selyara. Mystified and drawn to the girl with the fire-red
hair, he watches her trade her throne for the promise of a friend's
life. Faced with loyalty to his own queen and betraying everything
he knows, Lore must give his sword to a kingdom he has always
opposed, and a strange, magical girl-fast becoming more precious to
him than any immortal fire. Side by side, Selyara, and Lore unlock
dark secrets to break a blood promise that will change their stars
forever. Together, they fall into a world of fairytales and all the
Theories of Magic. JP Roth & Sabine Rich's Theory of Magic
graphic novel holds seven chapters of full color art, drawn and
colored by Sabine Rich, a cover gallery as well as sketch and
layout pages.
