Plot Summary
During
the Victorian era, in the small village of Wall,
a stone barrier separates our world from the land
of Faerie. Although there is a break in the bulwark,
which is constantly guarded by two townsmen with
cudgels, there are hardly ever any troubles between
the two realms. Once every nine years, during
"the Market," villagers and outsiders
are allowed to enter Faerie and sell, buy, and
trade with the magical inhabitants. During the
Market, young Dunstan Thorn is given his "heart's
desire" and soon finds himself making love
to an alluring but cursed faerie maiden.
Dunstan returns to Wall to marry Daisy Hempstock,
but nine months later an infant is found at the
crack in the barrier with a card pinned to its
blanket reading: Tristan Thorn. Tristan grows
to manhood as a human, but certain faerie features
and abilities make themselves known. He falls
in love with the standoffish Victoria Forester,
and in the heat of a romantic moment promises
her anything she might wish. As they watch a star
fall toearth,Victoria jokingly promises that she
will marry Tristan if he returns with the star.
True to his own oath, Tristan sets out to find
the star for his beloved. Once in Faerie, his
mystical heritage comes in handy as he recalls
places and history that he's never been formally
taught. However, Tristan isn't the only one hunting
for the star, and his competitors are decidedly
unfriendly. An ancient trio of witch-queens called
the Lilim need the star's heart to add years of
youth to their already near-immortal lives, and
will stop at nothing to gain what they want. Also
in search of the star are the three remaining
devious and deadly sons of the Lord of Stormhold,
for therein lies the power of their family. Eventually,
though, Tristan discovers the fallen star, which
appears as a lovely young woman with a broken
leg, and though he's forced to take her with him
against her will, he eventually becomes her sworn
protector.
