Book Description
Yesterday's Falcon opens as Gawain collapses at the portals of an isolated castle in the midst of a terrible snowstorm. He is taken in by Rhiannon, a striking young Druid who has been living alone since the murder of her husband. In order to heal the ailing knight, Rhiannon decides to take him to the Terran Stone, an ancient monolith left behind by the Far Druids before they disappeared. The mystical Stone stands on a small island in the center of the Natal Lake - a lake fed by waters flowing south from the ruinous wastelands. If Rhiannon is to find redemption and Gawain the answers he seeks, they must look to each other on the harrowing journey, for somewhere there lies hope and love in a dying world.

Book Description
From the award-winning author of, 'Yesterday's Falcon, ' comes a rich new adventure set against the backdrop of medieval Wales. When Torrance, Gawain's ten year old son is kidnapped, Gawain and his wife, Rhiannon, enlist the aid of Merlin to track down the traveling bard who took him. Their journey takes them through snowbound valleys and across the wild Celtic seas. But the kidnapping is only the beginning. Gawain and Rhiannon soon discover that Morganna, the Dark Druid who planned the abduction, is bent on using their son to find the fabled lost Runes. These mystical rune stones lie hidden in the depths of Khull Coome, a foreboding castle on the Irish coast. Neither Merlin's ancient art, nor Gawain's charmed sword are enough to thwart Morganna's plans. Somehow she always remains one step ahead, for she knows that revenge can make fools of us all. Praise for 'Yesterday's Falcon' . "Most intriguing is the interplay between the old ways of the Druids and the rise of Christianity, with Gawain serving as the fulcrum that unites the two worlds. By highlighting the influence of the Druids and allowing the two faiths to coexist, the author creates a harmonious mixture that offers intriguing possibilities for future tales. A worthy re-interpretation of the Grail legend and solid addition to the pantheon of Gawain stories."-Kirkus Discoveries "A richly detailed saga of medieval heroes and villains, Yesterday's Falcon is entertaining and recommended reading for action/adventure fantasy enthusiasts." five out of five stars.-Midwest Reviews

Falcon's Favor
Author: Dana Fraedrich
Publisher: Goat Song Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
A queer, standalone, cozy mystery romance with tons of food cravings, tea-loving, and found family vibes that smashes toxic masculinity and serves up warm, fuzzy feels every step of the way. Falcon Smoke’s image graces posters all over the city, touting him as the shining new hope for Springhaven. Yet every time Falcon sees those pictures of himself he feels like more of a sham. He tries to lead by example as a good and just Enforcer, but it’s hard to do right within a broken system. The cost of his fame has forced Falcon to leave his family home and move into a small house he can only afford with the help of another young gent by the name of Keene. A handsome and self-confident man, Keene fills their new home with wonderful aromas of his delicious tea blends and the scrumptious meals he makes for his catering clients. Seeing Falcon’s need to lie low, Keene does his best to ensure his housemate feels safe, warm, and protected. Fate, however, is not so kind. The Enforcer order is undergoing reform and many are calling for Falcon to drive their initiatives. Thankfully, Falcon has some much-deserved leave time coming up, and he plans to take full advantage of it by spending time with his handsome housemate. Unfortunately, before they can kick off their vacation, their home is robbed. Knowing that involving the Enforcers means condemning the perpetrators to a lifetime of imprisonment and torture, Falcon and Keene decide to solve the case themselves. While Falcon would prefer to handle this matter alone, Keene refuses to be left out. The two grow closer throughout the investigation, with sparks of romance igniting between them. But when someone notifies the Enforcers of the crime, Falcon is forced to choose where he’ll throw the considerable weight of his support. Fans of cozy mysteries full of sweet romance, witty interactions, and gripping suspense are sure to love Falcon’s Favor by Dana Fraedrich! Also recommended for anyone who's enjoyed Mackenzi Lee's Montague Siblings series (A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, A Ladies' Guide to Petticoats and Piracy); Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series, Finishing School series, and Custard Protocol series; and/or Garth Nix's Old World (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel, etc.). Those readers will delight as this Victorian-era-esque world unfolds before them. A multi-layered steampunk fantasy tale of colorful characters and subterfuge that promises to entrance. Series Note: Falcon's Favor is a standalone story in the captivating, young adult, steampunk fantasy series, Broken Gears (despite being listed as the fourth in the series).
