The Eagle Key
What would you do with a key that could open anything?
In the spirit of "The Princess Bride," "Stardust" and "Howl's Moving Castle" comes a story of adventure, redemption, magic and the ever perilous True Love.
After a hasty wish on the Evening Star, pensioner Martha Brown finds a key with the power to open the heart of all that it touches. When the Eagle Key opens a door to Faerie Martha is spurred to action. Fuelled by her anger at growing old without any adventures at all, Martha packs her bags and heads into Faerie determined to find one.
Saved from a carnivorous rose bush by Greyfeather, a wanted criminal, blatant flirt and scoundrel, Martha agrees to give him the use of the Eagle Key in exchange for helping her navigate her way through the pitfalls of Faerie.
The thrice cursed Greyfeather has secret motivations of his own and his past is swiftly catching up to him. Hell hath no fury like a sorceress scorned and Lady Highwater is desperate to see him hang. Only Greyfeather's questionable integrity stands in her way of becoming Queen and plunging the Summerlands into a bloody war.
In a world of bar fights, jail breaks, angry trolls and royal revenge plots, Martha must rely on her wits to keep herself alive and Greyfeather away from the noose, but can she trust such a scoundrel when he's so close to breaking his curse?

I love this book! The chemistry between Greyfeather and Martha is such a crack up and incredibly sweet at the same time. The characters are hilarious and while you adore Martha right from the start you are always just that little bit suspicious on GreyFeather... I find myself going back and reading bits and pieces of it when I am having a bad day and always end up smiling. It is like a fairytale for adults- like the Princess Bride its filled with adventure and innocently adult jokes. Greyfeather gets them both into all sorts of mischief and its up to Martha to continue to get them out of it again. Its a fun, feel good read, and a wonderful adventure into Faerie, would love to follow another of their adventures!
