The Haunting of Crios Fuath
I'm in the process of writing Little Wings: Book three, this time I'm writing from a very different perspective. In books one and two, it was Madar Guirmean, faerie from Arum that was the storyteller and her opinions shone through. This time, I am the storyteller and the story has been split into three. We look at the childhood of Crios Fuath, how and why he turned into the cruelly charged Crios the Black. We look at the orphanage he went to from age five, his meeting of Balgann faerie Dris Benn and his sweetness being eroded by a ghost in the night. We see his conflicts with Ma Fraoch, the efline who runs the orphanage with her widows and boundaries pushed to breaking point.
Eventually the ghost, the whisperer in the night, that haunted Crios from the outside, embedded his being to haunt him from the inside.
The Outbounders in this book are mostly on the outside looking in at Crios's mother's, Eidheann Fuath, her life is written as a parallel with her son. She was born with powerful Myddvai abilities and was rescued by an old Myddvai, one you may know from book Two, to escape a life of misery in the King's palace. Through the Book of Eidheann, the Outbounders watch her grow into a kind and talented elfine, raising the question of why she took her own life when Crios was five years old.
The third perspective is from Buckthorn Cruith, Piper's brother, still duty-bound to his Windtalking role in the House of Parliament and is seeing everything fall apart around him. He knows his sister and other Outbounders are hunting for the clue, the breaking point in the Crios the Black history, but things are changing so fast, there may not be any Windtalkers left by the time they return to the human world.
