In Progress
Melly Redmane’s plans for her future are simple: marry Rolof, start a family, and live peacefully in her small fishing village. When a strange woman appears on the cliffs during a violent storm, Melly’s grandmother tells her she’s seen Lady Sky, a goddess of the Old Ways. She names Melly her successor, as the next village draoi. Before Melly can understand what that means for her life, converts to a new religion—Rolof among them—murder her grandmother and burn her home. Melly flees into the forest, not knowing who among her family survived.
Exiled to a fae realm where the woodland chithi do not welcome outsiders, Melly begins learning the Old Ways. After she rescues a young boy from the chithi, she is pulled into the world of the seaborn mhithi, where she meets someone deserving of her love. But Melly cannot begin a new life while the old one remains in ashes. To find her family and avenge her grandmother, she must return to the man who tried to kill her. And her coming will be a song for the ages.
A SONG IN SCARLET is a low fantasy novel for new adult and adult audiences that will appeal to readers of Emily Rath’s NORTH IS THE NIGHT.
A SONG IN SCARLET was conceived as a stand-alone book, but I’m wondering if it should be two books rather than one. That will be more clear as I get closer to the end.
