THE FALCONER BLOG TOUR AND GIVEAWAY


Today I'm thrilled to be part of THE FALCONER Blog Tour. It's written by debut author Elizabeth May. I just started it and really have a soft spot for Aileanna, constricted by the role for women in her time, but still a strong, determined character to carry out what she believes is her mission. And I love the steampunk feel to the story.

Here's a blurb from Goodreads:

Heiress. Debutant. Murderer. A new generation of heroines has arrived.

Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844


Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery killed her mother.

Now it’s the 1844 winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to go hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways.

But the balance between high society and her private war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and Aileana’s father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is she willing to lose – and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?


Doesn't it sound great?

Having just come back from travelling through Scotland this makes me want to go back so bad!! Loved the tales of faeries and the winding streets of Edinburgh :)

Gah! I would love a copy of FALCONER. All of it sounds/looks/seems epically wonderful and I can't wait to read it! I'm also looking forward to you guest post by Jacqueline West. I've seen her series around and just haven't gotten around to picking it up… Maybe I should? The Elsewhere books seem like they'd be a fun middle grade read… ^^ Thank you for the giveaway!
