Synopsis

Cait is from Storran’s borders: idyllic, traditional, and completely opposed to separatism.

When her childhood sweetheart, Kenzie, is called up to the ranks of the Queen’s Watch to hunt down Storrian Separatists, Cait moves to the capital with him.

In the city of Thorterknock, she quickly realises that her charming countryside life is not the reality for every citizen of Storran. Struggle abounds on the cobbled streets, as does the battle for Storran’s liberation from the Five Realms.

Drawn to the enigmatic Separatist firebrand, the Fox of Thorterknock, and her tales of a secret heir to Storran’s long-empty throne, Cait finds herself swept into a struggle for freedom. With Kenzie and the Queen’s Watch on one side, and the Fox and the Separatists on the other, Cait will learn what it truly means to be a patriot.

And amidst this struggle to secure a better future, she will come to know the power of her own autonomy.

Song of the Stag may be a fantasy, but above all it is a love letter to Scotland’s historic and folkloric legacy. From ancient kings and black-hearted patriots to bonnie princes and Jacobite songs, this book is a celebration of a complex, beautiful, and all too often tragic, land.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

A proud Dundonian, Rebecca is an English and Creative Writing alumnus and co-founder of the charity Folklore Scotland. Armed with an obscene number of folklore books, she and her husband strive to preserve the tales of the past for a new generation by digitising stories, recording podcasts, and of course, hunting for fairies. She is fascinated by the transmutation of stories with each telling and loves to build this into her fantasy worlds. In her writing, folklore is a force to be reckoned with; it has the power to uproot lives and divert the course of history. Her love of stories and Scotland go hand-in-hand, and her debut novel, Song of the Stag, was born after her family grew bored of hearing impassioned rants about Scottish politics and history at the dinner table. Song of the Stag may be a fantasy, but it is a love letter to Scotland's historic and folkloric legacy. From ancient kings and black-hearted patriots, to bonnie princes and Jacobite songs; this is a celebration of a complex, beautiful, and all too often tragic, land.
