In 1558, young Kate Sutton found herself exiled by Queen Mary Tudor to a remote castle known as Perilous Gard. During her time in this isolated fortress, she became embroiled in a series of mysterious events that would lead her to an underground world populated by Fairy Folk. The customs of these mystical beings predated even those of the Druids, and included the practice of human sacrifice.
Perilous Gard, where Kate was banished, was a remote and foreboding castle. It was here, far from the intrigue of the Tudor court, that she would uncover a web of secrets and unnatural occurrences. As Kate navigated this strange new environment, she found herself drawn deeper into the hidden realm of the Fairy Folk.
The customs and traditions of these otherworldly creatures were ancient, predating even the practices of the revered Druids. Among these was the unsettling ritual of human sacrifice, a practice that Kate would come to learn more about during her time in the underground world.
Thrust into this mysterious and dangerous setting, Kate had to navigate the unfamiliar terrain and the equally unfamiliar customs of the Fairy Folk. Her exile to Perilous Gard had placed her at the center of a series of events that would test her courage and her understanding of the supernatural.
As Kate delved deeper into the secrets of the Fairy Folk, she found herself confronted with customs and beliefs that were entirely foreign to her own experience. The weight of these ancient traditions, including the practice of human sacrifice, loomed large over her as she sought to make sense of the world she had been thrust into.
The remote and foreboding Perilous Gard had become the stage for Kate's journey of discovery and confrontation with the unknown. Her exile, initially a punishment, had now become a gateway to a realm that existed beneath the surface of the world she knew, a realm with its own deep-rooted and unsettling customs.
