Aell is a half-Sylph who has spent their whole life in the forest of Lyfthelm Mountain, raised by their grandfather and never dealing with humans. When a mudslide destroys their cabin and frogs claim the fireplace, Aell is forced to relocate to the human town of Byrne. Detained by city guards and awaiting a summons from the local Lord who has heard about their magical abilities, Aell makes the most of it by getting to know their two caretakers, Silas and Glen — learning what human life actually looks and feels like.
