A Throne of Feathers and Bone [Dramatized Adaptation]

Honey and Ice [Dramatized Adaptation] #2

by Shannon Mayer, Kelly St. Clare

Chosen. Framed by my father’s murderer. Running from the fae courts. Fated to never touch the man who sets my blood on fire.

Life was looking up for me not long ago. Now, it’s looking all the way down. This latest shitstorm? Yeah, it takes the cake and the beetroot tickle.

The father who shunned me from birth lays cold and dead. The courts are in turmoil and after blood. My blood. I need to find his killer, yet that mystery pales in comparison to the madness crushing fae in its giant grip.

I’m desperate to find the door to Underhill before true anarchy descends. The answers I seek are on the other side, I’m sure of it.

With two gifted swords, a magic shield, some finnicky power, and dubious spirit for company, I must locate the path to our native realm again. And if I can manage that while resisting the Unseelie fae stalking my every footstep, then all the better.

But I am part human after all.

About the author

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.

I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caught the little buggers no matter how long I lay in wait. (And consequently had to help the neighbours plant new flowers to replace those I killed waiting for the leprechauns to show their faces.)

Along the way, I found my husband who is the rock that keeps me from floating away into my dreams, and we have a little boy who is the centre of our world. Living on a farm keeps us busy (as if the writing wasn't enough) and I have more than my share of stories about wrestling with cows, helping birth calves and ending up in the creek during the process, falling in the mud (we'll call it mud but we all know that on a farm, mud is rarely mud) and chasing escaped livestock in the hopes the four legged convicts don't make it to the highway.

I've taken up archery, and the goal is to move into horseback archery in time (you know, when I can hit the target on a consistent basis) and when no one is looking, I love to bake (this doesn't happen often as it's hard to keep the sweet treats in stock with two boys in the house.)

As to what's coming next for me? More stories (since those never stop inside my head, I might as well share them with all of you!) and more adventures. Pretty much, when the fancy strikes, I'll jump on it. Leap before you look I'm sure that motto was created for me.

Or was that . . . think big and dream bigger, ready, set, pull the trigger . . . yeah. That one is a good one too. But only if you have a gun. And are hunting elephants. Which is not cool because of so many reasons. Let's stick with the first one with an addendum.

Leap before you look and let your dreams carry you on their wings. And that, my friends, is me in a nutshell.

📕 A Throne of Feathers and Bone Dramatized Adaptation by Shannon Mayer
⭐ Rating: 4/5 ❄️🐝🎧

📖 Summary:
Alli (Kallik)—half-fae, half-human, fully done being a pawn—goes on the run after being framed and thrown to the wolves (aka fae courts). Every step tightens the noose of prophecy and politics… and the one man she shouldn’t touch? Yeah, he’s the one she can’t stop reaching for. The full-cast, cinematic audio cranks the tension, danger, and banter to eleven.

This book is:
✨ Fae court games, betrayals, and knife-edge alliances
✨ Fated-but-forbidden (no-touch rules meet scorching chemistry)
✨ Action first, longing second, payoff simmering under every scene
✨ Dramatized audio = more teeth, more heart, more oomph

💖 Character Reactions:

🗡️ Alli (Kallik) —
Scrappy survivor → strategic player. She fails, recalibrates, and comes back swinging. Soft core, iron will.

🔥 Faolan (Lan) —
Lethal protector with restraint carved into his bones. Devotion cloaked in discipline; when he cracks, you feel it.

🫠 Notable Moments You Were Ferally Grinning For:

The rescue that shouldn’t have been possible, but was

The “don’t touch me” proximity scenes (and the almosts that ruin you)

Alli pulling rank with nothing but grit and a sharpened tongue

The choice that puts love and loyalty on a collision course

🔥 Smut Level:
Slow-burn scorch. Tension heavy, touches rare but loaded. When the line finally blurs, it blazes.
#SmutTags: #FatedButForbidden #Don’tTouchMeDoTouchMe #LanIsLethalLoyalty #YearningAsViolence #FantasySpice

⚠️ Trigger Warnings:
Violence, coercion/political manipulation, captivity themes, court cruelty, betrayals, grief

Nothing new revealed; going down same path as laid out in the first and my predicitions/guesses from the first were solidified. Was sad that the death I knew was going to happen came in this book as I wanted their character to be around a little longer ( RIP Dane ). Will continue on but have a few books to get to before coming back to this series.

[Gabrielle Rocheleau · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent book. not amazing but entertaining enough that I could have it on while I work and I don't get bored but straightforward enough that I could not pay close attention and still follow the plot.

[Hien Nguyen · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars

[Lillie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Yeah, idk. I’ll give the third a shot before I give up on the series.

[Hannah Thibodeau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Completely engaging!! Cliffhanger floored me!!

[Robin Kristina Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg that twist!!!!! I’m loving this series so far. I can’t wait to see where the FMC’s story continues to go and what other twists and turns come up. Such a fun romantasy.

[Rakel Artin · Rating 2 out of 5]

OKAY!!!

[Amber Ballance · Rating 5 out of 5]

I truly enjoyed this book, maybe more than the first. I wish this series had a bigger fandom as I’d love to see more fanart bring it to life.

[Leafing Through It · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story continues into the upward arc. The Oracle had me giggling a few times with her bluntness. Again with the cliffhanger.

[Krissie Pooh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Better than the last! Already downloaded the next!

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little clunky, but so entertaining!

[Brooke Barnett · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Jessie Lewis · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5

another fast pace adventure with Calla and Fallen. We start off on the run since her father was basically murdered after finally acknowledging her as part of his house.

Calla runs to the unseelie court and finds an unlikely ally with the queen. Calla and Fallen continue to try and fight their attraction especially since sometimes there are deadly consequences.

Seems there is an issue with unseelie and series magic mixing. They get back on a quest to find Ruby and camp. To get more answers about underhill and some funny life lessons from basically the all knowing crone or the Oracle. It seems they might actually be able to figure out how to get around the crazy explosions of magic that happen even at the barest of touches.

I love the humor in this group, things are not as they seem, not everyone is truly an ally and we are left on another cliff hanger!
