The Falconer: A sweeping historical fantasy like you’ve never read before

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Set in Victorian era Scotland, this revised and expanded edition is a richly imagined historical romantasy filled with fae, danger and desire.

In the shadowed streets of Edinburgh, a secret war rages beneath the surface. Humans hunt the fae, monsters are caged, and a hidden prison lies beneath the city. Aileana Kameron is at the centre of it all. The magic in her blood is the only thing keeping the most lethal creatures contained, and the cost of that duty grows heavier by the day.

When the fae turn the hunt against her, Aileana is forced into an uneasy alliance with Kiaran MacKay, a beautiful and dangerous fae assassin whose motives are anything but clear. Their connection is immediate and volatile, matching the violence tearing through the city.

As the body count rises, Aileana must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect Edinburgh, the people she loves and herself. Dark, seductive and packed with action, this is a sweeping romantasy adventure with newly added, spicy adult scenes.
