The Falconer!
I’m so excited to help show off the trailer and excerpt for one of my favorite YA reads of this year, The Falconer by Elizabeth May. This book about killed me. In a good way.
Debutante by day. Murderess by night. Edinburgh’s only hope.
Edinburgh, 1844. Beautiful Aileana Kameron only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, she’s spent the year since her mother died developing her ability to sense the presence of Sithichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery who murdered her mother. But when she learns she’s a Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors and the sole hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity, her quest for revenge gets a whole lot more complicated. The first volume of a trilogy from an exciting new voice in young adult fantasy, this electrifying thriller blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.
THE ROMANCE. SIGH.
Want more? I got more for you. An excerpt.
The Falconer by ChronicleBooks
Now you really want more, right? That’s cool, because Chronicle Books has three ARCS of The Falconer up for grabs. This is US only giveaway as it’s been run by the US publisher. No frownie faces! As you know, there are ton of International giveaways on my blog. Plus The Falconer is already available in the UK and some other countries.
Random side note of the day. This is Elizabeth May.
To some of you, she might look familiar. Especially those in the U.K. Why? She’s the cover model for one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE series, The Demon Trapper’s Daughter. So I like to think of her as Riley. As if Riley wrote a book. =D Now where in the hell is Beck?
