Summary:
The story is set in 19th century England and centers on a "fairy doctor" named Lydia. Her life takes a 180-degrees turn when she meets a legendary blue knight count named Edgar and his crew. He hires her as an adviser during his quest to obtain a treasured sword that was supposed to be handed down to him by his family.
Since i am already a fan of anything Victorian-ish or Faye-ish, I loved this mini series. It combined a Victorian setting with your Roguish, mysterious, handsome guy, and shy, sheltered girl, and (what could have been if it the story hadnt been so smushed) an epic tale. The story tangles up everything from Brownies to Sylphs to the much scarier faye types... I have to say I'd be much happier with it if there were about 50 more episodes :P ..... If you dig the story at all, look up the "light book" series that this is loosely based on - and you will get the fill-in on the story and character depth that 12 episodes could barely touch on . (Its also quite a bit darker , be warned!)
