Description
Book Two of Allaigna's Song.
Allaigna has discovered that her family has lied to about her parentage all her life. Fueled by anger and spurred by her betrothal to a neighbouring lord, Allaigna has packed her saddle bags and stolen away in the night.
The perils of the road provide more than a distraction from her fury, and test her ability to sing music into magic to its limit. Unlikely allies, subterfuge, captivity, and assault conspire to change Allaigna’s status from mere runaway to fugitive.
While Allaigna charts her dangerous course, the quieter tales of her mother and grandmother unfold in tender, poignant, and heartbreaking vignettes that underscore the political and family tensions of the richly rendered world of the Ilmar.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Praise for the Allaigna's Song series:
“Magically unputdownable! JM Landels not only knows her magic, music, and swords, she knows how to weave all these elements into an exciting, enchanting, and uplifting tale. More please!” – CC Humphreys, award-winning author of Smoke in the Glass and Shakespeare’s Rebel.
“Elegantly constructed, boasting a subtle and well-thought out magic system based on music, on top of everything else. I’d highly recommend checking it out.” - Brandon Crilly, BlackGate.com
“Author Landels knows her stuff. Whether it's horses, sword-fighting, or midwifery, the details and descriptions are well-chosen and convincing. And she makes magic out of music ... or music out of magic. Either way, it works.” - Sylvia Stopforth, author of Dragon Rock.
“This beautifully-written high fantasy weaves together the tale of three generations of women - grandmother, mother, and daughter - all of whom make very different life choices. It's rare to find a fantasy novel that focuses on female characters and their relationships, and even rarer to find one that does it so well. Magic and knights and swords and horses, yes, all of that is here, but this is definitely not your grandfather's old-school fantasy series. The story and the relatable characters will hook you right from the beginning, and leave you wanting to know more. I can't wait for the next book in the series!” - 5-star review on Amazon.com
“From the very first page, JM Landels draws me into Allaigna’s brilliantly observed world, a land rich in conflict and magic. Landels is gifted with storytelling abilities and gives her readers those greatest of rewards, surprise turns and great character growth and transformation. Subtle and powerful, her writing always pleases.” – Mel Anastasiou, author of Stella Ryman and the Fairmount Manor Mysteries.
“I love the characters and [their] stories. I want to read them again and again.” – Cathy Levinson.
“I very much liked what I read, finding Allaigna, whom I very much want to revisit, possessed of strong voice and character.” – Fletcher Vredenburgh, BlackGate.com
“Allaigna by JM Landels is satisfying fantasy with the emotional grit and depth that could only be written by a mother of girls. It’s part romance, part step-family dynamics, part magical coming-of age story, braided together in narratives that have distinct yet overlapping points of view.” – Susan Pieters
“The compelling plot kept me hooked for hours! It was addictive.” - Nabila Fairuz, author of The Chronicles of Captain Shelly Manhar.
“Loved, no, LOVED it. Superb.” – Donna J Saunders
