This week's excerpt is from my medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air

Scene Set –The wounded have left with their families. The dead are being grieved. Cadi is still processing - where is Ewen?

Excerpt

She stood alone in the square. The bodies had been removed to be laid out in their homes. The monks called to church.

Cadi drank in the silence. The chaos and horror of the day ended.

Tomorrow the sun would rise, and the villagers would begin to live again.

Not she. She could not live until she knew the fate of Ewen. Good or bad.

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.
