Whispers and Wings flies free today 🕊️🦢

Published 7 days ago • 2 min read

Whispers and Wings is out today 🕊️✨

Today, I’m so excited (and a little awed) to finally share Whispers and Wings with you.

This book has been a long journey—one shaped by wings, vows, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the past refuses to let go. For twenty-four years, Gerallt has lived with Arianrhod’s blessing: a swan’s wing where his arm once was, a mark of both divine touch and lifelong regret. When violence leaves him helpless, his path crosses with Aderyn—a humble girl who listens to the secret language of geese—and everything begins to change.

Whispers and Wings is a story about healing that doesn’t come from swords or triumph, but from patience, love, and the courage to accept who we truly are. It’s about betrayals that echo across years, dark bargains that refuse to stay buried, and the fragile hope that something broken can still be made whole.

Blending Welsh mythology with the timeless bones of The Goose Girl, this novel also brings the Brodyr Alarch series to its close, with Sealed with a Curse weaving the final threads into one mythic tapestry.

If you’ve walked this road with me—thank you. And if this is your first step into Melthkior, I hope you find something here that stays with you long after the final page.

🕊️ Whispers and Wings is available now.​
May its song find you when you need it most.

For twenty-four years, Gerallt has borne Arianrhod’s blessing of a swan’s wing in place of his arm as a living reminder of a past he cannot forget. He kept the wing as a memento, a symbol of his vow to seek redemption and right the wrongs that had shadowed his life in Melthkior.

When an act of violence leaves him helpless, a vision of starlight leads him to Aderyn, a humble girl who listens to the secret language of geese. Through her patience and uncanny gifts, Gerallt learns that true healing may not come from strength or steel—but from love, patience, and the courage to embrace who he truly is.

Yet shadows of the past linger. A betrayal long ago by Mared, fuelled by ambition and dark bargains with the Otherworld, still threatens to claim what is right. Within the walls of Prince Eryndor’s hall at Caerwynd, where song and starlight collide, Gerallt and Aderyn must face the lingering shadows of deceit—and fight to claim the freedom and love that has long been denied them.

A mythic tale of love, redemption, and the intertwining of mortal hearts with divine hands, Whispers and Wings tells the story of a curse that lasts a lifetime, and the love strong enough to make it whole.

Blending the timeless tale of Brother Grimm’s The Goose Girl with the ancient mythology of Welsh deities, Whispers and Wings is the final instalment in the Brodyr Alarch series, with Sealed with a Curse as the unifying thread that weaves the series into a single, mythic tapestry.

Time to catch up on what's been happening this past month, and see what's coming up. Hello Reader. January arrives like a quiet promise. The year is new, the days are slowly stretching toward the light again, and even the coldest mornings carry a sense of possibility. After a long winter’s night, this month feels less like a demand to begin again and more like an invitation—to breathe, to rest, and to choose what we want to nurture in the months ahead. I’m stepping into January with cautious...

Hey Reader. On the longest night of the year, when the dark feels a little heavier and the light a little more uncertain, stories have always stepped in to do what fire once did best: remind us why the sun returns. The tale that follows is set in Hearthwyn, a land that never was but might feel faintly familiar, where winter is treated not as an enemy but as a force to be answered with care, memory, and courage. It is a solstice story about keeping promises, walking into the cold with warmth...

Time to catch up on what's been happening this past month, and see what's coming up. Hello Reader. I can hardly believe we’ve reached December already. This year, Yule will be a much quieter affair in the Sheppard household. Mr Shep is still in his space boot and unable to walk, with the latest diagnosis pointing to arthritis in the metatarsal bones of his foot. I’m still without income, the Puds are doing their best to manage their mental health, and we recently received the heartbreaking...
