She’s learned the art of the hunt from Kiaran, who is fae himself but trains her to kill them, and continues to train with him while she follows the trail of the fae who killed her mother. But after her mother’s death, she’s led a double life – proper lady by day, fae hunter by night. This book revolves around Aileana, a young lady who seemingly leads a perfect life – after all, she has money, a title, and beauty – most things people would wish for themselves.
I’m not sure how I feel about Aileana apart from her Falconer persona, but the girl as a Falconer does manage to kick fae butt pretty well. The setting is certainly unique, and the action is definitely one of my favourite things about this. The Falconer is part historical fiction, part fantasy, and part steampunk, and if you feel like that’s a barrage of information – it actually is. She still longs to avenge her mother’s murder-but she’ll have to save the world first.
Suddenly, her quest is a lot more complicated. The last in a line of female warriors born with a gift for hunting and killing the fae, Aileana is the sole hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity. With her knack for inventing ingenious tools and weapons-from flying machines to detonators to lightning pistols-ruthless Aileana has one goal: Destroy the faery who destroyed her mother. Now Aileana is dedicated to slaying the fae before they take innocent lives. she’s leading a double life: She has a rare ability to sense the sìthíchean-the faery race obsessed with slaughtering humans-and, with the aid of a mysterious mentor, has spent the year since her mother died learning how to kill them. Eighteen-year-old Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, has everything a girl could dream of: brains, charm, wealth, a title-and drop-dead beauty.īut Aileana only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady.
