This week's excerpt is from my medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air
Scene Set –Those who lived returned from battling the trolls. Those who did not were brought back in a wagon. Cadi's love interest did not return.
And yes - Grwn is a name - ancient Welsh.
Excerpt –
Guilty relief filled Cadi. Ewen’s name was not called. Where was he? If not with the living and not with the dead, where else was there?
She pushed her way through the mourners to Grwn’s side. “Ewen? Where is he? He’s missing.”
Grwn shrugged as contempt crossed his face. The scar above his lip increasing the repugnance of his sneer.
She knew why, even though she refused to accept it. In this moment, for that man, the most horrible, most repulsive idea was not the death surrounding them or the endless pain of the survivors. His disgust arose because she was only a woman — and an unwed one at that — and she’d dared to ask a question of so important a personage as himself.
Blurb and Links
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.

Isn't he special. By his actions, you show what a jerk he is.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's "great".
DeleteEnjoyed the snippet and I agree with Diane - you clearly showed what a louse this guy is!
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteWhat an ass. Kindness, compassion and just plain common decency are obviously foreign to him.
ReplyDeleteOnly when a female is involved.
DeleteLike Diane said, by Grwn's actions--and I'd add that excellent physical description of his scarred sneer--you've shown not only what kind of person he is, but also a good look at the culture (misogynistic, and patriarchal, perhaps) Cadi lives in. Good snippet! Tweeted
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI doubt he'll deign to give her an answer.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct.
DeleteI don't like Gwrn either. Hopefully someone will tell her something.
ReplyDeleteIn that era - highly unlikely.
DeleteI'm sure Grwn will get his comeuppance by the end of the story (please?) But for the moment, the interplay is excellent
