![]() Unfortunately, de Lint gives more weight to fantasy arcana than to more accessible universals, undercutting the potential ``cross-over'' appeal of this otherwise readable tale. The pair flee and tackle all manner of bikers and ``bogans'' (evil entities that look like winos in non-Faerie reality), and Jacky finds a replacement for her wayward love in Eilian, the hunkish son of a Laird of Dunlogan. Jacky's best friend, Kate Hazel, agrees (at first skeptically) to help her. Shes startled out of her reverie by a faceless gang of bikers attacking a small man whose body disappears, leaving behind only a red cap. ![]() In a fit of angst she chops off her long blond hair then goes out to wander the streets of Ottawa.

When Jackys boyfriend walks out, her life changes more than she could ever imagine. Feeling empty, confused and rejected, Jacky meets Dunrobin Finn, a gnome who introduces her to a parallel reality, Faerie, which she can see and enter into by wearing a magic red cap.
