SUPERNATURAL SPECIFICATIONS: Protagonist Laurel—another normal teen girl with something not-so-normal going on—learns that she is a faerie. In the Wings universe, a faerie grows wings in a sort of Black Swan-sprouting-process and is less animal than plant. Their purpose isn’t just to flit around puckishly, but to protect their magical land from the trolls.
