His Black Wings by Astrid Yrigollen Blog Tour Guest Post




SYNOPSIS:
Claren Maidstone has been forced to flee her childhood home after the death of her parents and a vicious assault from a sadistic young man who intends to marry her. Claren changes her identity and finds employment as an assistant to the handsome Fredrick Lowood, a generous yet mysterious benefactor. However, she soon finds out his generosity comes at a price. Fredrick wishes for Claren to befriend his disfigured son who resides in seclusion at their estate, Westwind.

Fredrick Lowood knows what the history books do not teach, that the Grand Council built this new world of peace and beauty on hidden blood and greed. He has plotted for years to bring down the family that enslaved his own people. Suddenly, he has the last living heir in his grasp.

Etrigan Lowood rejects the world that forces him to hide. He is powerful, plagued with a terrible dark beauty: WINGS. It is these wings that carry him out only at night to watch the unwanted intruder in his home. A creature of refined instinct yet little social grace, he is strangely captivated by Claren but knows nothing of how her family’s dark past is intertwined with his own . Through their blossoming friendship, Etrigan realizes he still retains his human heart and yearns for Claren’s love.

Kurten Wandsworth is the only son of the Mayor of St.Marhen. Kurten lives his life fueled by cruelty and lust. Whatever he wants he takes and he wants Claren to be his wife even it if kills her. Scarred by Claren he hunts her down mercilessly until he can set a trap which she will never be able to escape from.





GUEST POST:
Who is your favorite Author and why?

I have a lot of stories that I love and a lot of authors that I love, but if I break it down to one author whom I have read all of their works and loved them, it would have to be James Herriot. His real name is Alf Wight and was born October 1916 but passed away in 1995. James Herriot was a Scottish veterinarian who wrote short stories about his experiences in rural England. His tales are heartwarming and funny and some are heartbreaking. I would suggest reading his books in order since alone they are great, but when you read them as he wrote them you get a more complete picture of the man himself. I would recommend his books to anyone who loves stories about animals and their people!

With a love for writing fiction since childhood, she took her short stories out of storage and had her first story ever written published.
