In the mist‑shrouded Highlands, a quiet minister dared to trespass into forbidden realms. Convinced that fairies were not mere fables but a hidden nation with laws and lives of their own, Robert Kirk set out to reveal their secrets, and paid a terrible price. When Kirk died suddenly in 1692, locals whispered he had not died at all, but been taken alive into the Fairy Commonwealth for his betrayal.
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and historian Rachel Morris journey into Kirk’s haunted world, an age when science and sorcery, angels and spirits, coexisted in a twilight of wonder and fear.
