The Fair Folk of Mullarkey Inspiration - Black Annis
The Fair Folk of Mullarkey books are stand-alone stories that revolve around the residents of Mullarkey Mills in the Pontiac Region of Quebec. There are a stable of regular characters and some who come ago. And don't forget the fae characters who lurk in the forest or travel through the veil between worlds.
As books are added to the series I will update this character list. In the mean time, if you're just starting the series and want to know who's who, They're all laid out here.
