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?
