The Falconer Beneath Victorian Edinburgh, a desperate magic war unfolds, and Aileana Kameron is the only thing keeping the most dangerous fae imprisoned—until the creatures turn their sights on her. Forced into an alliance with Kiaran MacKay, a devastatingly beautiful fae assassin with his own mysterious motives, Aileana finds herself caught between duty to her city and an undeniable, incendiary attraction that could either save everyone or destroy her. As the body count climbs and the fae grow bolder in their quest for freedom, she must navigate treacherous alliances, explosive magic, and the kind of slow-burn connection that makes every impossible choice feel personal. This Scottish historical romantasy will absolutely sweep you away with its blend of danger, desire, and the kind of stakes that make you hold your breath.
