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


Scene Set – The elder woman has a surprise for Cadi.

Excerpt

Stepping through the archway then out of the monastery, Cadi released a sigh of relief. She peered over her shoulder, still expecting a hand to clamp down and drag her back.

Enfys hurried to a bush and pulled out a small bundle. “Yer things. I collected them for ye. Come. We must hurry before yer disappearance is discovered.”

Cadi struggled to keep pace with her. For a woman who appeared to be the age of ancient ruins, she was very spry. Through the forest they hurried, following a twisted path until they stepped into a small clearing. The old woman’s hut stood close to a waterfall fed creek.

A large black raven cawed.

Enfys glanced upwards. “Tis safe?”

The raven answered, then flew away.

Inhaling and releasing a loud sigh, Enfys shook herself. With each movement, a white light grew, encasing her.

 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.

  1. Daryl, your link on the WWW page is broken - but determined WWWers will find you! I'm really intrigued by Enfys but being me, am suspicious of her motives. Hopefully they're pure.

  2. I think the "ancient ruin" of a woman is about to be revealed. Exciting!

  3. Enfys is becoming more intriguing by the moment. She speaks to ravens, huh? And now a white light is growing around her. I'm beginning to wonder just how ancient she is (dare I say goddess?) Excellent snippet! (BTW--I eas late putting up my WWW post today--got home late from Chicago last night--but if you want to read it, its up now. The plot thickens between Corinne and the handsome stranger--who is acting stranger now too.)

  4. I'm with Nancy--suspicious. I hope this ends well for her seeking refuge there. :-)

    I changed your link to your general blog address, not the specific post. Not sure why it's behaving like that? Sometimes Linkytools is just plain wonky. Sorry about that.
