In the cold, remote north, Eishaven waits. Home of refugees and outcasts. Home of Candida the princess-no-more, making a life on the edge of the world with Shun, her wife and fellow runaway.
In the waters off the coast of Eishaven, a burning ship sinks. In its hold, Candida finds only one survivor, the bright but scared unicorn filly named Nessa. With her comes a quest . . . and a threat to shatter this newfound family. Many threats. Imperial unicorn soldiers. Gryphon renegades. Vengeful family. And at the end of the path, on the precipice of the happy ending, the nightmare of all Wolf-Lords . . . LE FAY.
In this fantastical new story, following after the events of A LIFE OUT THERE, author Brian McNatt takes readers on a journey expanding the world of Heraldale—and Princess Candida’s place in it—in ways they could never imagine.

Review

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Le Fay by Brian McNatt is a new adult fantasy novel that will pull you into the world of Heraldale and won’t let you stop until you’ve finished the entire book and still leave you to read more, the next one in the series. This book is a sequel to A Life Out There and picks up directly where the book ends. So this book should ideally be read in order after the first book.

The best part about this book was the characterisation. The creatures and species that the author has introduced in this book, and the ones he has used from the last part, are simply phenomenal and well-developed. They are all a delight to read about and I am looking forward to reading the next part already!

The author’s writing is brilliant and makes the story flow very well. Overall it is a great fantasy read with amazing world-building, great characters and amazing narration so I’d recommend it to all fantasy fans and to anyone who wants to explore a new series by a new author.
