To Be Published Soon...

Love blooms in a cave. Ancient prejudices threaten everything. Charlotte must decide if freedom is worth the price of betrayal.

In a world of elemental magic and psychic powers, Charlotte never imagined finding love in a mountain cave. But when she escapes a murderous shapeshifter only to be saved by a mysterious miner, her life takes an unexpected turn. The secluded family of miners who take her in harbor dark secrets - they're Metalists, able to manipulate metal with their minds, and they're the last of their kind.

As Charlotte falls for the youngest miner, Albert, she discovers both tenderness and danger in their isolated world. His grandfather Edwin shows her kindness, while his father Jebadia's hatred of women runs deep. When Charlotte becomes pregnant with twins, her initial joy turns to terror as she uncovers the family's darkest truth: female Metalists are killed at birth.

Caught between her love for Albert and her need to protect her unborn children, Charlotte must decide: stay and hope for acceptance, or risk everything in a desperate bid for freedom. Her choice will echo through generations, testing the bonds of family, the limits of power, and the price of survival.

In this stunning standalone novel, KD Lumsden weaves a tale of forbidden love, ancient powers, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love. Set in a richly imagined world where magic runs deep but prejudice runs deeper, Flight of Yellow Falcons explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of breaking cycles of violence. This gripping story will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth trilogy and V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic, Flight of Yellow Falcons combines intimate character drama with epic world-building in a story that questions what it means to be family - and what it costs to be free.
