The Falconer by Elizabeth May 378 pages
Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was
destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh's social events -
right up until a faery killed her mother.
Now it's the 1844
winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the
endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion
pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to
go hunting. She's determined to track down the faery who murdered her
mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city's many dark
alleyways.
But the balance between high society and her private
war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and
Aileana's father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is
she willing to lose - and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?
