It is always summer in Whimsy. The humans practice their livelihoods, not only for their own needs, but for the sheer pleasure of the fair folk. Seventeen-year-old Isobel is a gifted painter who lives with her Aunt Emma and twin half sisters (half goats) March and May. She angers Rook, the autumn prince, when she paints his eyes to display the sorrow she sees in real life which he hides behind his glamour. Angered, because human emotion is seen as a weakness in the fair folk, Rook kidnaps Isobel and takes her into the fairy world to stand trial. But as they venture toward the autumnlands, they begin to fall for each other, developing a relationship that is forbidden between humans and fair folk. With both condemned to death, will it be magic or human ingenuity that saves their lives?
