Hear Me Cry – A Fantasy Romance
Hear Me Cry is a fantasy romance re-telling of the Irish Banshee myth and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It has a bit of everything, the darkness of the Banshee and her symbolising the coming of death, along with a nice poignant reminder that time is a gift we all receive. I can’t wait for everyone to read this story. I actually cried writing the last chapter. Below is the blurb so you can find out a little more.
What would you sacrifice to protect the ones you love?
Isla is a warrior of the Summer Court. She has one mission, to keep humans out of Faery. Kill them on sight. When she inadvertently saves one and triggers the mating bond, she sets in motion a series of events that will change her life forever.
On the run and hiding from her own people, Isla must protect the one thing she’s been trained to hate. With magic now flowing through her veins, she must learn to control it if she is to survive.
The fae are coming. Her once commander, leads the charge. Will Isla be ready in time? Can she harness her magic and resist the darkness?
As both sides clash, Isla learns that her kind possess a cruelty she could never have imagined. Her loyalty will be tested and to save the one she loves, she must give up everything, including her life as she knows it.
Find out how the banshee came to exist in this dark fantasy retelling of an old Irish myth.
