"The Jack of this version ... is Jacky Rowan--a young woman who leads a fairly predictable life until a brush with magic gives her the ability to see into the Faerie world that exists alongside our world.... Soon she becomes a guerrilla in a war of magic as the darker denizens of Faerie... struggle to destroy the brighter creatures of magic.
