Chosen as Best General Fiction Novel finalist by the 2015 Indie Book Awards. "An extraordinary work..." ~ William Peter Blatty ”Captures the tragedy of romantic and familial love better than any story I have ever read." ~ Janeiro Bento
The towering and incredible Southern love story The Kestrel Waters has now received greatest 5-Star ratings from over 9 out 10 readers, including raves from celebrity authors and critics, and is a best Book-Of-Month pick by the largest online Southern book club, On The Southern Literary Trail (Goodreads).
Hear the twilight song of Kestrel. He has not always been this night-winged angel. He was once a star, a guitar star so righteous. He was once a lost boy in love.
In The Beginning were two grassroots singers, The Brothers Brass. In The End there is no end to what one wounded girl's heart will give. And no end to what one brother will give for the other.
Raised in Savannah by the sea, together, The Brothers Brass voices chime like heavenly bells. The oldest brother Kestrel falls in love with a girl named Bettilia, a wild child who hides in the treetops—hiding from her bad daddy on a ghostly mountain called Riddle Top.
Soon all the Family Brass falls for Bettilia. She touches Kestrel, she touches everyone. And they touch sweet Bettilia, forever. Then comes that fateful day when Kestrel says I do to his dance with the devil—his devil within and without.
The Kestrel Waters is an eerie, heroic, and beautiful Southern Gothic tale of human love, like none you’ve ever known. An epic fable of an epic family whose hearts are comic, profane, and profoundly true.
"I was haunted throughout ... mesmerizing, an extraordinary work. Thornhorn, where the hell have you been?" ~ William Peter Blatty (author of The Exorcist)
"One of the South's wildest new voices..." ~ The Oxford American Magazine

Randy Thornhorn is a teller of many tender and eerie tales, including this one—and its prequel Wicked Temper. Most of Mr. Thornhorn's stories occur in a displaced world, a fable-infested Southern region some would surely deem unsafe. He visits often, sometimes stays the night. Other nights he might be found on a wooded hilltop somewhere east of Montgomery in the land of Alabama.
He seldom sees angels fly his skies. But magpies are another story.
