A simple word spoken with pain. A Voice in the Air on Weekend Writing Warriors #WeWrWa #8Sunday #medieval #fantasy #romance

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


Scene Set – Cadi learns why Ewen has not returned to Plucks Ridge. She is speaking with Fira.

Excerpt

“Then why does he not return?” Cadi's heartbeat quickened with concern. “Is he injured?”

“Imprisoned. If he is not rescued, I fear he will be slaughtered.”

At the word slaughter, a shudder of terror rippled through Cadi. “Is he at… where the… the others were?”

“Aye.”

A simple word spoken with pain. Cadi lowered her head and whispered a quick prayer for the brave knights and village men who had perished trying to defeat the trolls.

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.
