Review: A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene

Title: A Feather So Black

Series: Fair Folk #1

Author: Lyra Selene

In a kingdom where magic has been lost, Fia is a rare changeling, left behind by the wicked Fair Folk when they stole the High Queen’s daughter and retreated behind the locked gates of Tír na nÓg.

Most despise Fia’s fae blood. But the queen raises her as a daughter and trains her to be a spy. Meanwhile, the real princess Eala is bound to Tír na nÓg, cursed to become a swan by day and only returning to her true form at night.

When a hidden gate to the realm is discovered, Fia is tasked by the queen to retrieve the princess and break her curse. But she doesn’t go with her is prince Rogan, Fia’s dearest childhood friend—and Eala’s betrothed.

As they journey through the forests of the Folk, where magic winds through the roots of the trees and beauty can be a deadly illusion, Fia’s mission is complicated by her feelings for the prince…and her unexpected attraction to the dark-hearted fae lord holding Eala captive. Irian might be more monster than man, but he seems to understand Fia in a way no one ever has.

Soon, Fia begins to question the truth of her mission. But time is running out to break her sister’s curse. And unraveling the secrets of the past might destroy everything she has come to love.

‘The joy is in the thrill of the fight, not the promise of a kill.’

All the stars!

Fia is a changling, swapped with the Princess by the Fae, bought up by the unloving Queen and shaped into a weapon.

Fia is given a quest by her ‘mother’, venture into the fae world with her childhood friend and ex-lover, Prince Rogan, break the curse and rescue her ‘sister’.

There she meets 12 cursed swans and the Fae Lord, Irian.

I was enthralled by this utterly captivating romantasy, I gorged every word!

It was deliciously dark with exquisite writing and characters you’ll fall in love with.

The stories, the history, the romance…..I just ate it all up!

I need that next book!
