What is recorded here
The fairies keep their fort in Tarmon, Clare, while human history forgot the name. A ring of earth still stands where ordinary sense becomes thin, and people who enter without invitation do not return the same. What the fairies took may have been a year of life, a memory, or the certainty that the world is solid.
