Today, I am showcasing a snippet from my sweet medieval romance – A Voice in the Air.
Scene
Set – Cadi was rescued by an elder who shook herself and she transformed. Cadi speaks with her rescuer.
Excerpt -
“Are ye a faerie?”
“Nay. The overseer. Like a queen.” Fira settled on a chair across from her. “I was not born with faerie magick, I was granted those powers.”
“But…” She paused her sentence. “But what be ye? If ye are not faerie nor mortal?”
“I am the essence of the air and sun. I am magick.” Fira’s smile lightened the room. “Yes, magick is real. Some possess powers. Others do not. Many refuse to believe. But in yer soul, ye have always believed and that is why ye can see me as I am and ye know my name.”
“I heard a voice. Aderyn said it was a faerie’s.”
“Aye. I cannot speak my name to another until the faerie test. If a faerie whispers it and ye hear it then ye are a good person with a true heart.”
“I have never seen a faerie. Are they big like ye and I?” How could magickal beings wander about and she never noticed one?
“Nay.” Fira laughed. ‘Ye could hold one on the palm of yer hand. In a few days ye will be presented to one.”
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.
