A Tale of Something New

by

D. S. McColgan

Every story starts with a choice.


Liliana is shocked to find a dying man in the middle of the forest, surrounded by the remains of a brutal fight. She decides to bring him home to her father’s farm and nurse him back to health. However, when the stranger regains consciousness, he doesn’t remember who he is or how he came to be there.


Intrigued by the mystery of it all, Liliana sets out to discover who this handsome, well-mannered stranger is. Does he come from a different territory? Could he be the man who whisks her away and shows her the world? Or will whatever happened in the forest put the lives of everyone she loves at risk?

About the Author

D. S. McColgan

I grew up in a village not far from the Swiss Alps, surrounded by forest and mountains. Now I live in Wales with my wonderful husband and my daughter.  


I write cosy yet dark fantasy with historic fairy tale vibes. My stories are populated by interesting, authentic characters and have a message to share alongside the fantastical elements.  


My favourite books are by Nina Blazon, Naomi Novik, Brandon Sanderson, V. E. Schwab, Elizabeth Wheatley and many others.
