Publisher Description
An ancient war between humans and fae brought a terrible Curse to the land. Now the only two who can end the Curse are an untried young woman and an exiled warrior. They must battle High Fae, Deathsworn, and an immortal evil that threatens to devour the whole world…
DINDI can't do anything right, maybe because she spends more time dancing with pixies than doing her chores. She dreams of becoming a Tavaedi, one of the powerful warrior-dancers whose secret magics are revealed only to those who pass a mysterious Test during the Initiation ceremony. The problem? No-one in Dindi's clan has ever passed the Test. Her grandmother died trying. But Dindi has a plan.
KAVIO is the most powerful warrior-dancer in Faearth, but when he is exiled from the tribehold for a crime he didn't commit, he decides to shed his old life. If roving cannibals and hexers don't kill him first, this is his chance to escape the shadow of his father's wars and his mother's curse. But when he rescues a young Initiate girl, he finds himself drawn into as deadly a plot as any he left behind. He must decide whether to walk away or fight for her....
THE UNFINISHED SONG is a second-world epic fantasy with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance as well as epic adventure in a world of High Fae, adorable fairies, chilling Deathsworn, and the gorgeous but dangerous world of Faearth.

A Fabulous epic mystical adventure….
One of the most compelling paranormal romance/fantasy series I have ever read and I’ve read a LOT of this genre.
Don’t be put off by the slightly naff covers- this is a seriously great read.
The world building is completely original- set in a quasi tribal era in what could be ancient human history, but with a magical/mystical element, involving the Fae who live alongside humans and have a complex history of their own.
Whilst the narrative can be a little slow at times - persevere because the characters of Dindi and Kavio will stay with you long after you finish this book.
The rest of the series just gets better too!
Loved it. 5 stars.
