Rediscover the magic of The Falconer Trilogy—now reimagined for adult romantasy fans.

Dive back into the world of The Falconer rewritten by the author to bring even more depth, darkness, and desire to this beloved series. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, sizzling chemistry, and high-stakes fantasy.

Hunt the fae. Cage the monsters. Guard the prison.

Aileana Kameron is no ordinary Victorian debutante. By day, she navigates the glittering society of 1844 Edinburgh. By night, she battles the deadly fae that threaten humanity. For centuries, her family has upheld a sacred duty: ensuring the ancient, magical prison beneath the city stays sealed.

But cracks are forming in the barrier. The monsters she once hunted now hunt her, and the fate of the world teeters on the edge. To stand a chance, Aileana must turn to Kiaran MacKay, a breathtakingly dangerous fae assassin whose dark past hides secrets as sharp as his blades.

Their alliance is as treacherous as it is intoxicating. Passion ignites between them, as fiery as the battles raging in Edinburgh's streets. But every choice comes with a cost, and as the death toll rises, Aileana is forced to confront a harrowing question:

How far is she willing to go to save her city, her loved ones—and herself?

Because if she fails, the fae will break free. And once they do, nothing will stop their vengeance.

A wonderful Rewrite!

I read the original version when it came out and definitely enjoyed the book, but this aged up and spiced up rewrites are truely breathtaking.
The spicy bits in this first book are pretty tame, while still being hot as hell. The violence is well described and action packed. Definitely recommend you check it out, especially if you liked, or were on the fence about the first one.

Excellent update to the original

I loved the original series, and I’m loving this one, too. Moira Quirk is a great narrator for Aileana. I only wish a male narrator had been brought in to read Kiaran’s chapters.

The yearning!!!

Excellent narration. Perfect timing and tambour. Just when you’ve listened to 100’s of books and wonder if there are any more differing plots…this is just fantastic. Loved it. Heading to the next in series!

Dang it!

I’m only just through book two! I’m already sad that it’s only three books. Sooo good. More please and thank you!

Decent Accent

I thought this was meh, the highland accent was decent enough. I felt there wasn’t enough backstory for the amount of chemistry that was being told between the main characters. One moment they are enemies and the next, they are star crossed lovers. There was not enough character building. I hate when they have the males POV and he is just like “I want her with everything I am” right off the bat. There was no chemistry or build up between two characters you’d want from enemies to lovers…
