GENRE: Epic Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Morgan's feminist books didn't
prepare her to deal with the dashing Gabriel and the land of Ahe'ey . . .
Morgan is a dreamer, change maker
and art lover. She is a feisty, slightly preachy, romantic feminist full of
contradictions and insecurities. Morgan uncovers a world where women have the
power, and where magic is no longer just a figment of her wild imagination.
Sounds like a dream, but it may, in fact, turn into a nightmare.
The world of the Ahe'ey challenges
and subverts her views about gender, genes, and nature versus nurture.
The strong and uninvited chemistry
between her and the dashing Gabriel makes matters even more complicated. His
stunning looks keep short-circuiting her rational mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Before
she could process her actions, Morgan found herself walking towards the door,
signalling the guards to follow her. Outside, the strange woman shouted.
“Where
are the Ma’asai?”
“At
the venue, in the Great Lawn in Central Park. We enclosed the perimeter and
created some security checkpoints,” said the blonde man.
“You
betrayed my direct orders, Bastian.”
“I
received no such order my Sky. Please! We are already here. It’s just for a few
hours. We don’t want another incident like the Met where he disclosed his
skills to protect her. Let me prevent further—” The blonde man stopped talking
as he saw Morgan and the security guards approach.
The
woman wrapped her cinnamon-coloured cape around her body, fully covering her
weapons and her unusual outfit.
How
odd. They look like they belong in a sci-fi TV series, thought Morgan.
“Good
afternoon,” Morgan said loudly. She flashed a theatrical smile, trying to
defuse the situation. “Hey, nice outfits. Is this Comic-con weekend? I love
Comic-con. Which character are you?” She looked up to meet the eyes of the
imposing Amazon. The woman looked at Morgan with an expression of cold
indifference.
For
one moment, Morgan felt like she was looking into a mirror. She recognised the
texture and the fire of that hair. How strange.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"In this romantic tale, a champion of
women's empowerment stumbles on a hidden--and seemingly perfect--society. A
bracing mix of emotionally and intellectually honest fantasy." - Kirkus
Reviews
"A compelling and creative work of
paranormal romance. Le Fey takes her characters to places seldomly seen in
fantasy fiction that readers will find empowering and prescient. Ahe'ey is a
fairly polarizing book. As an example of feminist fantasy fiction, you won’t
find much better than this. Ahe’ey is an impressively thought-out story, with
many original touches and a fairy-like romance that will deeply satisfy readers
of the genre." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
"This book is a thoughtful look at
empowerment for women. At the same time, it's a rollicking trip into a fantasy
world complete with dragons, love and strength, and ideas that really get you
thinking. This book is highly recommended for all ages." - HUGEOrange
"They're flawed, real, and honest
characters that can be easily related to. Ahe'ey is the kind of novel society
needs to read, to create inspiration and to make people think. Ahe'ey is
daring, complex, and honest. A must-read novel that tackles heavy and real
topics with a mix of serious and humorous, charm and tragedy." - Reader's
Favorite - ★★★★★
"Ahe'ey contains a richly imagined world
that raises complicated and timely questions about our own. Jamie Le Fay's
Ahe'ey is an action-packed love story that puts forth a nuanced vision of
gender stereotypes, body politics, and the dark side of seeking
perfection." - Foreword Clarion - ★★★★

OTHER PRAISE
"Jamie is a fine writer with a rich
imagination and is able to convey her strong feelings about women’s rights,
feminism, gender equality and other important matters of injustice, primarily
because she keeps us involved with the characters of her strong story.” - Grady
Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice - ★★★★★
"As a liberal and committed feminist who
is increasingly frustrated by the simplistic self-righteousness of my own side,
and the belief that all that is needed is for a few smart people to start a
revolution, I found "Ahe'ey" to be refreshingly multi-sided, while
also maintaining its core beliefs.” - E.P. Clark, Author - ★★★★
