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


Scene Set – Cadi learns about the true identity of her rescuer. Enyfs shook and what light covered her and when the light was gone... Cadi speaks first.

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.”

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.

  2. I've always loved how Fira wasn't born magick, but it was granted her because of who she is. Great snippet.

  4. Wonderful way to reveal her true nature. And from your blurb, I suspect Cadi is about to be sent on a quest. I love that a woman is leading it! Tweeted.
