Three-ring circus
What's it like to live forever?
Alicia is about to find out...
Just because you don't grow old, it doesn't mean you won't die a violent death at the hands of your broodmates. Or the Queen who laid your egg.
From the moment she hatches in the Derwent Sídhe, Alicia is fighting. For her life. To gain position. To become an adult.
And then, the moment she drops her wings and emerges, the fun really starts.
In this new instalment of Mark Hayden's King's Watch series, we finally get to hear from the Fae in their own words. They've played a huge part in Conrad Clarke's life, and now they're going to be staying in his house. Alicia's story is told from within: what's it like to have magick in your bones? How do the Fae really feel about mortals? What does it take to climb the greasy pole when your rivals are all immortal?
Alicia is the youngest Squire in the service of Princess Faith, and she is propelled into the heart of the biggest wedding in the world of magick this century: the joining together of the Dragonslayer and his consort. No pressure, then.
She fights to get on top of a bunch of unruly hens' hairdos and just when she thinks she's winning, the bottom falls out of her world.
She finds herself on her own, cut off from her People, about to become snake food and with nothing but a hairbrush to protect herself. Can she make a bid for freedom?
Woven in with Alicia's story, we get a backstage pass to some of the events glossed over in Third Eye. What really happened at the hen do? How did Lucy's car end up in the canal? And as for Mina and the stripper...
We also check in with Conrad and Mina on their Honeymoon in Valhalla, where Mina is not a happy bride. Not at first, anyway.
So find out how Alicia copes in the mad world of the wingless, and discover how Conrad plans to deal with the Akademia and grab a copy now.
Mark Hayden's King's Watch continues to turn over all sorts of rocks to find what crawls out. Who wouldn't want to join Alicia on her journey from the egg to the edge of an abyss.
