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


Scene Set – Cadi is rescued from the monastery's prison cell. She is imprisoned because she sang in the church. 

Excerpt

There was a scratching at her door. She peered out. Enfys, the old woman, hunched over from her ancient years, peered up. “Out ye come, girl. Ye has places to be, and this be not one of them.”

“But tis locked.”

“Nay,” her raspy voice rattled with laughter.

Cadi pushed the door open. “The Father Abbot will be angry.”

Enfys signalled to Cadi to follow. “I worry not about the Father Abbot. I answer only to a higher goddess.”

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.

  5. If I remember right, she was imprisoned for singing songs, forbidden because of who she was. Wonder if those songs will help her in her future now that she is being sprung.

  6. Seems like Cadi is being called to serve a different higher power--hopefully one who will value her gifts, not punish her for them. Loved the description of Enfys! Tweeted.

  7. Intriguing! Does the Abbot serve the same higher power?
