Book Hooks is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog. It's a chance each week for you the reader to discover current WIP or previously published book by possibly new to you authors.
Today, I am showcasing a snippet from my sweet medieval romance – A Voice in the Air.
Scene Set – Opening Scene
Excerpt -
A cloud of dust rose above the road. The men were coming home. Those who lived. A chill shuddered through Cadi. Those who lived.
Would many return?
Would Ewen?
Calls sounded throughout the village of Plucks Ridge. “They return.”
“They are coming!”
“The men are back.”
“Can ye see them?”
Women and children streamed from the homes and shops into the village square. The mass moved to the east, gazes searching the horizon for the sight of a loved one.
The soul-satisfying scent of freshly baked bread drifted past Cadi’s nose as Marwyn, the baker, stood next to her. His neck stretched to see over the crowd. His only son had gone to fight the creatures.
She visualized the last moment she saw Ewen, Marwyn’s son, seated proudly in his saddle, showing a brave face to his father’s worried one and his sister’s tears.
Would he return?
Blurb and Links -
Leading an army of faeries and pixies into battle against mountain trolls was not what Cadi expected when she accepted the task of rescuing Ewen - the son of the Overseer of the Faeries.
Squire Ewen followed his liege into battle with a head full of romantic notions of knights, heroics, and damsels in distress. Being captured by a troll, thrown into a cave, and awaiting a hideous death was not how he had foreseen his adventure to play out.
Can Ewen stay out of trouble long enough for Cadi to rescue him? Will Cadi overcome her doubts and fears and bring her beloved Ewen home to Plucks Ridge?
Or will the petty evilness of The Scorned One defeat all and destroy the magickal realm?
If you love action, humour, quirky characters, and romance, then Daryl Devoré’s latest medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air – is a must read.
