The 21st century. Europe is divided between the First World
bourgeoisie, made rich by nanotechnology and the cheap versatile
slave labour of genetically engineered Dolls and the Fourth World
of refugees and homeless displaced by war and economic upheaval. In
London, Alex Sharkey is trying to make his mark as a designer of
psychoactive viruses, whilst staying one step ahead of the police
and the Triad gangs. At the cost of three hours of his life, he
finds an unlikely ally in a scary, super-smart little girl called
Milena, but his troubles really start when he helps Milena quicken
intelligence in a Doll, turning it into the first of the fairies.
Milena isn't sure if she's mad or if she's the only sane person
left in the world; she only knows that she wants to escape to her
own private Fairyland and live forever. Although Milena has created
the fairies for her own ends, some of the Folk, as fey and
dangerous as any in legend, have other ideas about her destiny ...
