Blowing Smoke, the
fifth novel in the Rainbow Award-nominated M/M Fae SoulShares series by Rory
NiCoileain, has just been published by Riverdale Avenue Books.
The SoulShares series begins more than two thousand years
ago, when the Fae of the Realm walled themselves off from the human world, in a
last-ditch attempt to save the Realm from the unimaginable malevolence of the Marfach. The wisest among the Fae were
able to foretell that only Fae in the human world had any chance of destroying
the Marfach. So they left one path by
which Fae –exiles, misfits, rebels – could make their way to the human world.
At
a terrible cost. A Fae passing through the Pattern loses half his soul. That
half is reborn, somewhere in human time and human space, in a human. In order
to be whole, in order to stand a chance in the final battle against the race’s
most ancient enemy, an exiled Fae must find – and mate with – and love – the
human who bears the other half of his sundered soul.
The
problem? Fae don’t love.

Gale Force, the second novel in the SoulShares series, Deep

Blowing Smoke, the first new novel in the second half of the eight-book series,
was published on July 17th.
“The launch of Blowing Smoke is an amazing day for
everyone who’s fallen in love with the SoulShares! I’m absolutely thrilled to
be bringing back the Fae and humans of the Demesne of Purgatory, as they
discover the consequences of their meddling with the Pattern in Firestorm.
Lasair Faol and Bryce Newhouse are totally worthy – and smokingly hot –
additions to the canon. And there’s an adorable puppy,” explained the author.
