Chapter 19 Summary: “—? November”

The next morning, Emily wakes to the aurora overhead bleeding white light. Emily sneaks out of camp with Shadow, leaving Wendell behind. In her internal narration, Emily reveals that Shadow is not a typical dog, but a glamoured Grim loyal to Emily. They cross through a door into the faerie world, where they find a festive faerie market with Lilja and Margret in attendance. Many faeries gather around Emily to gawk at her cloak, which she discovers has been enchanted by Wendell to “flow fetchingly around [her] legs” and keep her comfortably warm (174). Among them are Lilja and Margret, whom Emily pulls to her side; Shadow extends his own fae abilities and protects all three women from faerie enchantment, additionally pulling Lilja and Margret out of their trance.

A beautiful man approaches to disperse the crowd, isolating Emily. He threatens to reveal her lack of enchantment to the surrounding faeries if she does not give him her enchanted cloak. He gives her a white fur cloak in exchange, enchanted to supply its wearer with whatever they need. Emily and Shadow escape with Lilja and Margret, using a compass the cloak provides. They search for hours, but do not find a door back into the human realm.
