This week's excerpt is from my medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air
Scene Set – Not done irritating you about the culture of the era.
Excerpt –
Sunday morning
the church bell called everyone to mass. Cadi lay on her cot, staring at the
ceiling. It was not her room. It was a cell; three stone walls and a thick
wooden door with a small window. In the far corner, her chamber pot. In the
other, a small table on which lay a candle and a bowl. Inside it, the remains
of her once-a-day meal. The abbot had confined her to this room for three days
for her sin. He instructed her to think about what she had done and how she
needed to beg forgiveness, not from him but from God.
Forgiveness for
singing.

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.

Harsh! Good excerpt....
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteFor singing? Holy cow! What would be the punishment for something really bad? Good picture of the culture.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteMen are forever doling out punishments to women for things they have no business interfering in. Poor Cadi. She needs a break from all the wretchedness. Great excerpt! Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteHang in. Things will get better.
DeleteHow cruel and sad.
ReplyDeleteThen I wrote it right.
DeleteAh, so she did get caught. Wonder if it will keep her from doing it again, or fuel her hunger.
ReplyDeleteFuel her hunger.
DeleteI like the way the sentiment of the scene is presented, but I don't feel Cadi in this... just a description of her situation.
