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


Scene Set – So we have learned that Cadi has been chosen to find and rescue Ewen - the Overseer of the faeries son. Now let's me the lost Ewen.

Excerpt

Ewen pressed his palm against the tip of his nose. Even that close, he could not see it. But he was safe back here. Deep in the cave. Out of the reach of a troll’s arm or club.

But he was trapped. He’d crawled along the floor, touching everywhere, hoping to find a way out or a source of light. He found neither. He did find water. Almost drowned. He was a fair swimmer, spending plenty of summer days in the river near the mill. But never had he felt water so cold. It ripped his breath from him. In the blinding darkness, he’d only just found an edge to grab hold of to climb out. He’d lain curled in a ball, shivering until sleep settled on him.

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. Seems like one cold, tricky situation

  2. Neither situation I'd care to be in.

  3. Shivering in a pitch-black troll's cave. Two big strikes. Let's hope Ewen can hold on until help arrives. Still, he sounds resourceful just from this snippet. Tweeted.

  4. I love the cave part. It's so good!
