It’s this world of fantasy where, oddly, Aileana feels most at home. Where she sees her value and where she believes she has the most control. It is during these stolen moments where Aileana feels the most alive. Every night, Aileana sneaks from her home to hunt or train with Kiaran, a darkly, handsome faery who once saved her life.
Aided by a pixie faery, Derrick, Aileana hunts for her mother’s murderer. In her other world, Aileana is a fighter, a weapon with a thirst for revenge. Even so, Aileana’s lies to cover her other life is a heavy shadow on their friendship. Her only true friend is Catherine, whom she’s known since childhood. Her father neglects her, ignoring her and sees her only as a bargaining tool for marriage. Whispers surround her and everyone believes Aileana played a role in her mother’s murder. In one, she is virtually a pariah in society. The moment she witnesses her mother’s gruesome death, her life changes forever. The Falconer Reviewįrom the beginning, I rooted for Aileana. She is the last hope in saving humanity from extinction by the faery.
Her thirst for revenge wars with her legacy. As she draws closer to her goal, Aileana learns that she is the last in a long line of women warriors known as Falconers. She spends that year training and killing fae with Kiaran McKay, a faery with a mysterious past and a mission of his own. In the year following her mother’s death, Aileana has one goal: to kill the faery that murdered her mother. That is until she finds her mother brutally murdered at the hands of a faery. She lives the idle life of privilege, with the same dreams of marriage and family as any other young woman in her society. The Falconer is the story of Aileana Kameron, a young aristocratic woman in 1844 Scotland. Intrigued, I settled in for a cup of tea and a good read. I don’t remember what the search terms were, but somehow, halfway down the results page, there it was. It was while I was doing research for another post. I stumbled across The Falconer quite by accident.
