Fifteen-year-old Corinna Stonewall-the only Folk Keeper in the city of Rhysbridge-sits hour after hour with the Folk in the dark, chilly cellar, "drawing off their anger as a lightning rod draws off lightning." The Folk are the fierce, wet-mouthed, cave-dwelling gremlins who sour milk, rot cabbage, and make farm animals sick. She is never cold, she always knows exactly what time it is, and her hair grows two inches while she sleeps. There her hidden powers burst into full force, and Corinna's life changes forever. But Corinna has a secret that even she doesn't fully comprehend, until she agrees to serve as Folk Keeper at Marblehaugh Park, a wealthy family's seaside manor. Her job is to keep the mysterious Folk who live beneath the ground at bay.
She doesn't really know who she is or what she wants.Ĭorinna is a Folk Keeper.
