Flurry of Feathers

Legends are forged in times of adversity, but so are future kings.

Young prince Tallin is organising a grand masked ball. He has planned every extravagant detail meticulously, except for observing his father’s special guest list. As far as he’s concerned, none of them ever turn up, so why bother including them? He’s far more interested in persuading his father to allow him more responsibility in court and talking his queen-to-be, Lavinia into providing heirs.

Except this time, he has misjudged everything.

Legends turn up regardless of whether they’re invited. When one of the most powerful gatecrashes the gathering, injured, the flurry of feathers he arrives in is only the beginning of Tallin’s problems.

Now Tallin comes face to face with the mysterious, dark feathered legend. A mythical, treacherous creature from his faerie stories as a child. One who, despite his angelic wings, brings great danger to the realm. Tallin isn’t fooled by his secrets but danger combines with tantalising opportunity and this is the first time the young prince has met a legend with the potential to eclipse his own ambitions.

As the gilded prince and cursed dark angel clash, can the two of them find common ground and work together to protect the realm and its future before it’s too late? Who will sacrifice the most in the quest for ultimate control and will one of them outwit the other as they vie for supremacy?

Find out in the stunning, richly layered prequel to Mask of the Gods, which is currently available exclusively to my mailing-list subscribers.

If you’ve read Mask of the Gods and wondered how the portal to Tallin’s realm ended up closed off and what actually happened between Tallin and Lavinia that led to them being separated, this delightful adventure will give you all your answers.
